Compulsory Army Service

Future wars will be fought mainly from control rooms and via drones etc, and so the idea of needing a couple of million civilians to "go over the top" is outdated nonsense. Those soldiers over in Helmand or wherever are trained professionals, and so the idea of just letting every Tom, d*ck or Liam roam around battlefields with minimal training and a AK14 is just jingoistic rubbish.

I'll be signing up as soon as the children of Johnson, Rees-Mogg etc sign up, especially given their parents close links to the warmongers involved in the first place.
 
Are we really gonna have a boots on the ground war with Russia?

“Don’t take Manchester, we’ll nuke you…….urgh can’t believe you did that.”

“Don’t take St Petersburg, we’ll nuke you, aaaah man that’s out of order. We’ll nuke you next time though.”

“We WILL nuke you y’know”.

“Na you won’t, we’ll nuke you, take your 150,000 troops out of our country”.

“No. We’ll nuke you”.

“You won’t. We will. Gonna nuke yer.”.

How long would that actually go on for realistically?

Didn’t we all think that would be the case until we saw the Ukraine Russia conflict?

I would have thought there would be millions of Brexiters and Tommy Robinson types who would love to get stuck in to protect our flags and sovereignty so us fatties (me) don’t need to worry just yet.

Personally I’d rather we just get nuked into oblivion. Hopefully one would land right on my house and I can get it over and done with. I can’t be doing with more war.

The difference is that the war between Ukraine and Russia is partly over the actual land itself, so you need boots on the ground.

Also our preferred companies of war produce fired from a distance based weapons and they're the most important stakeholders in this.

And because Ukraine don’t have any nukes. Because they gave them all to Russia.
 
Why was National Service stopped?
Some countries do you have it, and in a new guise it might not be a bad thing if before you hit 21 you've had to do 6 months of it, or 6 months of some form of a national service. Would certainly help ground quite a few little upstarts.
 
I sometimes get out of breath taking the stairs to my seat at the Riverside, I don't fancy my chances on the front line.

Forced exercise is probably the only way I could be arsed though, so I'll focus on the positives.
