I’m retirement age, and would have been dismissive of national service when I was 17, but now.. the world is a different place, I think it’s a good idea.
IMHO, Britain should incentivise 2yrs national service, it would help with integration of all communities too. Reservists, and diverse specialist groups too. National security is woefully inadequate across the continent.

turns out if you have a society where there isn’t widespread intergenerational poverty and where college and healthcare are free at the point of use, young people don’t feel compelled to join the military
