Rejected petition Bring Back National Service

More details

Dear Mr Cameron and your coalition government:

We are asking you to consider bringing back National Service .

This can either be introduced for all teens aged between 16 - 18 years old, or for offenders of incidents such as the recent riots witnessed in the UK.

This means that we can reduce the number of innocent soldiers that we would need on the front line during conflict, and it would also reduce the problem of overcrowding in our prisons.

May we suggest that if people offend, that they are automatically given a 12 month spell of service, then every time they re-offend, the previous sentence/length of service gets doubled or tripled.
