National service - a very bad idea

This campaign has ended.

Drop the "National Service Bill 2013-14"

Why is this important?

National service "conscription" was introduced leading up to WWII and was abolished 15 years after WWII for good reason. It did more harm than good to those who were forced into a minimum of 2 years service. For many it would have been easier to spend 2 years in prison but then they would still have had to do the term of service after. Many got out by faking long term illness, or by suicide but the rest had to get on with it. Those who endured the grueling 2 years of service and survived the regime mentally unscarred were few if any and a generation were brought up by the men who endured their time in service.
It has a long lasting and generational effect on society. where cruelty is a tool for training those in service like electric shocks on a lab rat.

A reintroduction of National service "conscription", serves for cheap labour for what ever means the government of the day sees fit and with those having to serve, forced to do what ever training the controllers set.

There is no benefit for the individual to serve a term of service and no long term benefit for society. although those presenting the bill will disagree it is something that is so abhorrent to any critical thinking free person that someone should be enslaved for a period of time for what ever reason.

Quiet simply the Bill has failed.
Thankyou to those of you who signed this time.
I will still be watching to see if this idea raises its ugly head in the future, but for now our young men and women are safe from such abhorrent wimps.
