[QUOTE=Less;1265348]Our armed forces are made up of volunteers, lets keep it that way.
You are Quite right Less, our lad left school at 16 and signed up for the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Armoured Corps, he served with distinction in the First Royal Tank Regiment, he loved it, when one of his mates asked, "how do you put up with the discipline" his answer was "if you have had reasonable discipline before you join any of the British Forces than you will not find it a problem", on hearing him say this the back of my eye lids came over all moist. the lad is 53 now and what he learnt in the forces has stood him in good stead for life. My comment was more tongue in cheek than a serious statement. As for all men over 74 joining the home guard, I just qualify, Bring it on.
