the indolent retired who love the idea of National Service
Comfortably bitching about it at the pub instead of in a hospice or a food kitchen says it all.
Leshaches-
You have to be at least 83 to have done national service (it ended in 1960…I was 4) but like my father in law, those at university didn’t do their NS…I am retired (68) and I didn’t do NS and i don’t like the idea of NS and to be fair neither do the military either.
If those refusing aren’t sent to prison for not doing NS (Jimmy Dimly) then it can’t be ‘mandatory’ and therefore it is a joke!
In case anyone is in doubt, I am totally against the idea and wholeheartedly agree with stappard’s concluding paragraph.

Fuck that. 18 year olds are busy in further/higher education, or trying to start their careers.
If there’s going to be mandatory service, give it to the indolent retired who love the idea of National Service (that not one of them under 85 ever had to do) so much.
