It's healthy to not want to fight, says General Sir Richard Barrons, but young British people may realise they have to be conscripted if war erupts between Nato and Russia
Both my grandfather’s on both sides fought in both world war 1 and world war II and all four were killed, so there doesn’t really seem to be much future in conscription.
Also UK military leaders have been against it for decades. It is just an expensive way to get cannon fodder. Maybe useful in 1930s trench warfare. But rarely of value for modern technical warfare.
It will just leave the milatary with a huge training bill.
