Rejected petition Re-introduce compulsory conscription

More details

The government should re-introduce conscription for a mandatory 1 year period.

Conscription does not have to be to armed forces, but can also be to social support functions to help improve better cohesion within local communities.

It should be enforced that all people between the ages of 16 - 25 must complete this.

Not only will this improve the level of respect younger generations seem to be lacking, but help these generations understand life better and give them some direction
