Britain's Conservatives planning to bring back compulsary national service.

FTSE coordinators lol

Hopefully they don't just pick and choose what courses they want and disappear for the summer (something that totally didn't happen at my unit last year).

For all you conscription haters: They chattering classes are chatting. To me, National Service means more than going to the Army. Conservation, Emergency preparedness, Elderly Care, Child Care, are all options.

Opinion: Is military conscription making a comeback?

You don’t need to be a military hawk to fear the worst for Europe and for NATO. The idea of mandatory service, which until recently seemed preposterous, is being debated

I finally got around to reading the G&M article. I thought it was a good summary of the issue.

I agree with your comments about national service, it does not necessarily imply military service. It will for most countries, as the combat arms tend to be the most manpower intensive tasks facing the country that are unpleasant enough to require compulsion.

Of course, this is all academic in Canada. We will be at least a year into WW3 before any politician would consider introducing a new National Resources Mobilization Act.

Assuming it wasn't just before an election. Then it will have to wait.
