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?

A good point; their "Human Rights" would put an end to any attempt by the government in using national service as a means of discipline.
