Does'nt go far enough

National Service, the very words are contemptuous in this modern PC society, all take and no give. National Service, Boy Entrants, Cadets, all had their place in a Royal Air Force where there was still some pride in the nation and everything it stood for.

What now, the prisons are full, the yoof are revolting, the lunatics are running the asylum, whats changed? the lack of moral high ground to ever justify a call up.

Penal battalions I say, ship every significant miscreant out to the not so friendly colonies, put them in the line and extract every ounce from 'em till they drop.
