I might be naïve but I don't think it's a move to get younger people interested in the army, I think it's one of those UKIP MP style sound bites. There's an alarming increase in the number of politicians who seem to believe that everything was much better in their day and if we can just scrap all of this modern thinking and progression we've managed over the last 40 years then the country will just "sort itself out".
I'd bet a small amount of money anyone suggesting state schools need CCF is thinking that the military nature of it will sort out the perceived disciplinary issues in state schools.
It's like bringing back caning without actually resorting to corporal punishment
