National Service



Do you think they should bring back National Service?

yep definately, put a lot of youngsters in their place and teach them some discipline and respect for their country and it's people, and get the lazy ass benefit scroungers off the streets!

No. I don't want to be shot at by someone I don't know and have no wish to shoot back at.

Still no. I don't want to die, and I always consider this a dangerous profession, not sure why.

Patriotism is dangerous. Just look at that ex-NFL soldier who tripped over his jaw and got himself killed. He was a real American patriot.

I didn't even realise, until a month or two ago, that I could be called up to the army. The rules changed apparently. sad

Exemption from military service used to be one of the plus points of being gay - and now they went and changed it!

if you don't want to die why do you risk crossing the road, hell why do you even get out of bed? nothing wrong with patriotism,that isn't what's killing people.religion and money is what's killing folk.

Sorry, don't go for patriotism.

Crossing the road is a necessary risk. I'm not saying I'll stay indoors all day like a hermit. I just don't feel it necessary to put myself in greater risk. Wars are quite risky in that way. people tend to get killed quite a lot.
