Rejected petition bring back national service and re-instate the home guard
Rejected on
With all the armed forces being stretched to the limit and most of the time being spent overseas ,would be beneficial to restart national service ( not to mention the advantage it would have in bringing crime rates down by enrolling all people ) in the armed forces and have the home guard re-established in the u.k only to aid in situations like terrorism ,bomb threats and so on and also to build a strong military presence at every port in the u.k to assist in serious matters of illegal imigration at sea and airports round the.u.k .
