Rejected petition Bring back national service
Rejected on
National service my grandfather did it in the RAF and back in those days it made the man thought young people respect and discipline I agree with my late grandfather that abolishing national service was a monumental mistake
When national service was in force the national crime figures were lower back then than they are today I believe national service would help young people and lower crime
