Maybe the FAPS should consider this legal obligation when they determine the specifics of our next pension? How many other jobs carry such a commitment which could have far reaching implications on an individual should they find themselves having to honour it?
Hopefully for most, the argument is academic as if the country is in genuine dire straits (WW3!) most would want to do their bit anyway and I would sooner sit in a CAOC picking my nose and boring the ops staff with my 'war stories' than get drafted into the army and sit in a ditch watching atom bombs go bang.
