National Service Options

[TallDarkAndHands...]

Having seen the troops looking so well drilled and professional on Friday just shows that young people given direction and discipline can be a credit to society.

I would like to see National Service brought back in on a Voluntary and none Voluntary basis. If youths choose to Volunteer then all credit to them but if a youth misbehaves to a certain degree (the level of this would have to be decided upon) I would like to see them enlisted in the Army. It would serve us and them better than any Prison Cell or Youth Detention facility would and would free up our jails for the older lags who are serial repeat offenders.

Thoughts?

I believe that all young people of both sexes should do National Service from the age of perhaps 16.
I think all low level criminals should also be subjected to the benefits of a disciplined environment where they can be encouraged to do better.
If anyone saw the Daily Mail today you would have seen how the Yehmen deal with the likes of criminals who rape young children.
Rather extreme I confess but wouldn't the reintroduction of the death penalty protect so many young and innocent lives from serial predators.
Also if you carry a knife you get 5 years if caught. I think that would solve that problem.
Human rights legislation is a charter has become a stick to beat ouselves up with. It needs changing.
