What the petition asks
I feel that service in all areas of the nation will aid not only the country but the people serving it. It will teach life skills and discipline, something that is lacking in today’s society. It will also help to reduce selfishness in future generations.
2 years in one of the armed forces or emergency services. (This gives time to finish higher education and apprenticeships)
For those not eligible to join the services or choosing not to: 2 years as an apprentice tradesman or care worker.
