What the petition asks
National service my grandfather did it in the RAF and back in those days it made the man thought young people respect and discipline I agree with my late grandfather that abolishing national service was a monumental mistake
When national service was in force the national crime figures were lower back then than they are today I believe national service would help young people and lower crime
