What are the thoughts on National Service & a year in the Services just out of school? I think it is a great idea, make kids grow up & be responsible. Both male & female.

I feel like this is a step backwards. Actually, more like 2 centuries backwards. Unless you want to consider Starship Troopers our future, in which case I will call you a fascist.

I feel like this is a cheap solution to a much larger problem, if it's a solution at all. I feel an overhaul of the education system is a much larger step in the right direction. As well as policed and strict parenting rules. I'd much rather live in a society that doesn't breed without a license than one that conscripts its youth and indoctrinates them into an already psychopathic state of affairs.
