Rejected petition National service
More details
The last few days in London and across the country have shown that a minority of today's youth have no direction.
Their goals in life are led by what they can get here and now.
Its time to instill some social responsibility and discipline to the lost youth of our country.
There needs to be a system where this is practiced, if a youth leaves school without a job and is not going on to further education then they should be conscripted to either work in the military or in a social position for 2 years being paid the normal unemployment benefit they would be entitled to.
Social positions would be work within the community.
If the social aspect is defaulted on then the individual would be sent to the military.
In the initial instance the individual would be given the choice which service they wanted to join.
