Are you an 18 year old in the UK?
Fuck your uni studies.
Fuck your job.
Fuck that person you’re caring for.
Who is going to employ any school leaver, knowing they’re going to be pulled into National Service when they turn 18?

@mickcarty Not sure how useful conscripts are in a modern western army. They'll need to dumb-down a lot of stuff.

Of course, the Tories have gradually defunded and destaffed the armed forces over many years, so basically, we need to get some more bloody troops before we engage with Russia.

The UK used to pride itself on its professional armed forces. Men and women who volunteered, gained exceptional training, and delivered amazing service.
Can’t see how the Forces’ Generals will be happy about this latest vanity project.
