BRING back national service. I don't think so. As a shy naive young man I was forced to leave the job I loved and enlisted into the Army.

Once there I was trained by often sadistic NCOs. I learned discipline, also I learned to smoke, drink, chase women and to kill people.

In four English garrison towns where I was stationed in addition to normal policing the Army provided extra policing.

It is our generation who have failed today's young people. The Army does not want more, nor should it have them forced through conscription.

The moral behaviour of society should be the concern of us all not just one section.
