National service... You want to train these kids to fight properly!

I am 28 and I never vandalised anywhere when I was getting "drunk under-age" and I don't feel that National service would have helped me... Apart from maybe improving my fighting skills, and maybe giving me more education.

I agree with Edward Clutcher 100%. National Service is the only answer. Statistics prove that we have been in decline since it was stopped. Undisciplined parents giving birth to delinquents!

While I agree the to the national service, the solution is it is not. What we need is a less intafering goverment if they where not involved in every part of lifes and we where free to get on with it people would not have to go and hide in the bottom of a galss helath and safty and PC gone mad!

Dear Times,
I am sick and tired of the increasing reports about what YOUTHS are doing. The list is endless! e.g. Vandalism, Gun, Knife and Beating murders, also constant disturbances everywhere. The solution is very clear: BRING BACK NATIONAL SERVICE A.S.A.P. Vote Conservative.
