Bring back National Service !!!!
Teach them respect and discipline, their parents obviously did not.
As an ex 22 year man who's son is near the end of his third tour of Afghanistan, let's put this in perspective eh ?
The UK Armed forces don't want, need or have any time for the type of feral dross that we've seen on the streets of various towns and cities in the UK of late.
I don't mean the recent rioting and looting either ! The next time you have to pop along to the local convenience store early evening or late night, take a look at the "leaders of tomorrow" gathered outside said establishment. Listen to the utter garbage being "given it loud", and then please stop with this Bring Back National Service twaddle, because most of today's youth just
DOESN'T have what it takes to be a member of a disciplined and effective team.
And furthermore, let's not forget that it was WE (our generation) that........................
Took away virtually all the disciplinary measures that teachers had at their disposal
Allowed legal action to be taken against parents who had the effrontery their offspring in the home
Told these young people (via various media methods) that they were a
NO-ONE unless they had, but not necessarily owned, the latest..
smart phone/games console/fashion wear...the list is endless !
Instigated the use of ASBOs, which are totally ignored the majority of the time.............................................
I could rant on here for hours, but my message is that, whilst I personally have little or no time for the human dross we see every day on our streets, I would hope that maybe just a little of the blame for these events could be fairly placed at the door of several previous generations, who by their actions and greed have implanted the seed of "must have, will have" into the minds of so many of our "future citizens"
Ps Did anyone ever hear of a social security office being looted and burnt ??
This just about sums it up I hope
