Not everyone in the armed forces handle weapons or have skilled jobs...

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room for manual labour for people who are unable to get a job within 18months of doling it.

office jobs are civi jobs, they're just employed by whatever base they happen to be at. These jobs ate hard to come by and have sod all to do with conscription.

I have had this debate previously, but personally I would say no to consciption, but the idea to do community work would be more benefical in my opinion. Then people are not putting their lives at risk and they could possibly learn new skills which would give them a better chance of finding a job.

What this country needs is a proper war, national mobilisation always solves unemployment.

Nice to see another semi serious discussion being turned into a shite talking match.

We have been serious and given you serious answers, what more do you want us to say Alan?

Do you want us to come and stay with you for a weekend and show you how we behave in public? Do you want a kiss?

I was under the impression that there was still a discussion being had. You've had your say so that's the end of the thread?

I wouldn't and kind of don't care. It's just that it's happening more and more and it just kills threads that people might still have an interest in. Do what you want, I'm just saying what I'd assume others are thinking.
