Shadow Beast Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Have you all seen the stuff in the papers and on the news today about the Tory's thinking about bringing back National Service! What are your thoughts on it? i know what mine are and that it wont be a good idea, i understand why they want to do it but i dont think its a good idea, not with all what we have going on at the moment around the world. It is hard enough to do the job over there as it is without the hassle of having someone in your troop that does not want to be there. What are your thoughts?

R Black Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Totally the opposite to yours Shadow and for at least 12 months, as i can't see any other way to fast track kids into maturedom without the via hoodydom, obviously this would'nt work 100% but i'm sure the percentages would be good for helping society. However your not the 1st person that i've heard with your views, i take it your in the armed forces so you know much more than i do, and yours is the view that matters and that interests me, and may convert mine. I'm not advocating using these interns alongside the regular army, unless they enlist on their own later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 there is no way id go to war with a chav who didnt wana be there, but i do think they should all go to training and then all to one unit so they are kept away from us serving regular soldiers and they get taught discipline and respect it has its pros and cons but eventually it will work if people had more pride in their country and fellow citizens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 thats the whole point of it , naturally the little fuckers wont want to do it , as in anything they are asked to do now , they just give the finger and get on causing trouble . but drum a little respect into them and when they realise they cant run home to mam , it should change them hopefully for the good . granted there will be the odd total fucking idiot , but you get them in every era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 I doubt the tories will get in anyway so it's a bit of a pointless discussion. The only thing pointless about this thread is your comment, you sure Know how to stop a thread. The question is not whether the tories will get in because most politicians are the same at the end of the day. All i was asking was views of the general public, what do you care living in a non EU country. Any thread that contains discussions from more than one member is hardly pointless As for the others i understand what you are saying i agree with that we need to sort out the youth and i for one would be more than willing to go to a training unit and help them out in converting them to soilders!!!!!!!!! that would be good fun i am sure. Could we put them some where that they can help in other ways like covering fire strikes and helping back here like when we had the floods in Gloucester. That IMO would be a good start and those that enjoy Army life and who prove themselves at the end of there 2 years get the option to join a regular fighting unit.

R Black Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Along the lines i was thinking Shadow, i was'nt advocating sending them to war, another point, i don't think this would work while cowering under the EU's pony human rights umbrella.

Considering someone posted after my comment I'm not sure how I stopped the thread. Most politicians are the same? I don't think they can pass the same legislation though.
