What are the thoughts on National Service & a year in the Services just out of school? I think it is a great idea, make kids grow up & be responsible. Both male & female.

i fully agree and support the idea of two years national service on leaving school. going into an apprenticeship or full time further education or work can delay the period of service on appeal. the disciplin will do a vast majority of the youth a great deal of good, building there own self respect and respect for others and property etc. i also believe that LONG term unemployed should be made to "work" for the dole on much needed infrastructure. i dont mean to be draconian but we need to do something to build up our great country.
