Reintroduce conscription for the military, firefighters and NHS workers

What the petition asks
Reintroduce conscription to rekindle a sense of patriotism. Not all conscripts should go to the army - some can work as firefighters and NHS workers. Being part of a team could help reduce anxiety.
This could give the unemployed jobs and improve their mental health.
