      In my eyes it could only be justified if it was to protect ourselves. As in we were actively being attacked by a foreign force. No other reason. If a NATO country was attacked by a foreign force and article 5 was invoked it's a tough one for me but I don't think the average guy off the street should be getting sent over there. I don't think national service would work in the UK. There's a lot of variables and it's not black and white. I think we should be staying out of wars as well, but still build up our defensive capabilities. Thanks for watching, great to hear your opinions.

    I have absolutely no stake in this country despite being relatively grateful to be here, thus I see no value in possibly dying for it. I'd protect my family locally but I'm not signing up.
    I have no chance of marriage or in the dating pool due to dating apps and modern women.
    I'll never own a house.
    I'm white and male and thus society is actively against me in any court of law, job application or speech.
    This isn't the same Britain. I'm not gonna fight in favour of a society made up of non-crime hate incidents and that doesn't even value anything about itself.

    I did N/S between 1960-62. I was stationed on Benbecula when there was a dispute on Glasgow Docking area, The rumour went about that us service people would be called in to take on the workload. The blokes I served with knew I
    had certain working class principles & when I said, 'I won't be participating' they laughed & said 'You will have to'.
    I'm a southern working class lad, loath any Establishment, still do at 86. We are designated this life cutesy of our Creator, as individuals, no dominion over anyone else & no one has that above us, not on this planet. That situation never came to fruition. I'll bloody well leave you to judge if I would have carried out my personal decision.

    If ALL men* were required to do National Service (* excluding those in higher education) That would almost
    halt the 98% male illegal immigrants. The cost regarding the huge influx would be offset against a reduction in hotel accommodation requirements. No release until. standards reached including language.
    I did miss National Service by a few months - would I have been unhappy, probably when things were in the WWII mode. At the end though I had a late friend who was a sportsman of National standing who was permitted to train as & how he wanted. While I did a 40 hour week and then had to do my training !!

    Who could be the target for "National Service"? is it likely that ethnicity might play a role? Remember that when war came to our shores a number of "foreigners" were rounded up and interned. Dependent upon the external threat's origins who and where would they be "housed" to protect the "Realm"? Is it possible that we might already have a potentially hostile faction within our society who might take a different view to protecting Britain against internal/external threats? These are questions that worry me.

    National service is a great idea, but military service should just be one option. The NHS, schools, the National Trust could all use some additional volunteers. Do a couple of years in the forces or complete a certain number of hours of community service before the age of 25. No exceptions, just because you've ponced of to University doesn't get you out of it.

    National Service made a difference to young men's discipline in the early post war years. Something similar, even with a community service option might re-establish both that and pride in country (assuming we could establish governments who are not trying to return us to the middle ages and replace us with uninvited "guests".)

    Do you mean national service (generally you can go into the forces or do something else to benefit the country) ... or do you mean conscription into the armed forces, first one is flaky, the second one is no choice you do it, you go through basic and you are turned into a fit and capable soldier, matelot, or airman ... you know, like the army that won WW1 and WW2 was. Generally it isn't the professional army that wins wars of national survival as I've just pointed out, it's a citizen army that is conscripted and does as its told (a bit like what is happening in Ukraine at the moment). In the end the nation will make us protect it, they've done it before and they will do it again, and all the people saying they won't do it, well you won't get a choice, the state has power and uses it when they have too.

  • @imperatorvespasian3125
    @imperatorvespasian3125 16 днів тому

    I think you take a very reasonable none political view. I think you will get a lot of sign ups to fight, probably 100,000 given unemployment, before conscription would be needed.
    They would take a year to train minimum, if you want to have an army that uses oxygen. So you are looking at 2026 before the UK could send a reasonable fighting force. An army that size would last about 3 months in Ukraine if well supplied. So by late 2026-early 2027 the Government will have to push conscription.
    By then the UK economy would be a joke, no banking system to speak of, power stations mostly gone, no undersea cables or satellites, so no communication, national civil unrest. At that point the country people will be defending will be as large as the edge of their home town.
