Rejected petition People on benefits for over a year should be forced into military action

More details

Any person who spends over a year claiming benefits should be forced into the military. This would install a sense of duty in the individual and could perhaps give them the kickstart that they need to turn them into valued members of society, as opposed to leeches.
