Rejected petition National Service for under 25s unable to find work for more than 6 months

More details

Due to the large number of young people unable to find work, I deem it fitting that they should be entered into a military career. This would benefit both the country and the individual as an increase in military capacity would strengthen armed forces across the globe. The new soldiers would also gain valuable military backing in the future careers of their choice.
