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.

The worst thing they ever did in New Zealand was to get rid of Military Conscription.
A year of military based service for school leavers who weren't going on to university would be the making of our youth today. Learning morals, respect, manners, obedience and consequences, loyalty, brotherhood and the startings of a trade or interest along the way. Something that most of our forgotten youth are very much lacking these days.
Believe we would see a marked drop in crime and assaults in general if we went back to this basic grounding.
