Rejected petition Bring back National Service

More details

In the face of the recent riots throughout the UK, is it time to bring back National Service? This could instil community values, patriotism and discipline in the young as well as providing them with an education and training. However, is it ethical to force young people into the Armed Forces when they could potentially be sent to war zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq?

Vote to bring back National Service.
