Do you think this should be bought back? I think that if a school-leaver has not found a job within 6 - 12 months, then joining the defence forces would not be a bad thing. It would get these people off the dole, could train them in specific areas and as well as this, you can never have enough trained forces people to protect our country. I know many people would say that this takes people's freedom away, but in the long run I can see the benefits.
