Never understood why the french military are seen in this way, they have some of the finest fighting forces in the world..

Re: Watch Out UK Youth.

I think it's an good idea, but, like someone said, it probably won't happen, too many snowflakes. So many young people are bored as there are no youth clubs and nothing for them to do. so many young people hang around streets smoking dope with their mates, it would get them off the streets and help turn them into mature adults.

Re: Watch Out UK Youth.

People seem to be obsessed with sending our youth into the military for national service, to make men of them ( women too ), now I agree that some young folk join the services and it is the best thing that ever happened to them, it changed their lives for the better, but imagine being forced to join up for whatever period and you hated and despised the life, what can you do?, rebel against the system and end up spending your national service in a military prison, no you have to do your time, painting coal white, cutting lawns with nail scissors, and being on the receiving end of some sadistic corporal, so we just send the country’s bad boys/ girls into the military to show them discipline , well the forces don’t want that type of person in the ranks, again, some may find it life changing, many wont,
No, leave joining the forces as a voluntary thing young people can choose if that’s the life for them and leave if they decide it’s not..

That's the way I felt about school, and I had many years of that, not a few weeks. Still had to go though.

It's just honest mickey-taking of our nearest rivals, not to be taken seriously. Mind you..............

Our snowflake youths should be careful if they vote to keep us in the EU, or they'll find themselves in the EU Army fighting for the Frogs - because the Frogs aren't too good at it themselves!

After all, it must be true. Look at their best fighting unit - the Foreign Legion!

Re: Watch Out UK Youth.

The Eu army is a strange animal ... let us for one moment take a look at it as by definition it is in a camp all of its own ....a sub species as in reality it has no parents ... it’s just a made up animal that never evolved but simply ‘made’ .
Firstly the EU is a political body not a nation state but it has now decided ( fact ) that it wishes to have a military fighting force under its control ...so who will supply the cannon fodder ? Why the 28 nation states of course , who will pay for this ? Yes you guessed it ... the 28 nation states ... now the big question of who will ‘ man ‘ this Force ? Yes your getting there .... we will !!!!


So let us try and keep this very very simple and imagine the uk has an army ( we shall use the word army but I’m including navy .airforce etc) with full manning of 100 men , so the grand old duke of junkers can march them up the hill and back down again free of charge as the uk pays the bill for junkers army ... everything is great and we all sleep peacefully .
But wait a moment the uk doesn’t have 100 men , defence cuts, snowflakes , indeed the very fact the British army is now the Eu army slows recruitment so we now have a manning of only 40 men ....
But the Eu wants this army to be sent on we shall call them ‘peace keeping’ missions into every nation in Africa ... junkers army will go and keep the peace to deter refugees heading for the Eu .... but we only have 40 men and the Eu demands we must be at full strength ( why not as it’s costing the Eu nothing !) so considering no one wants to join then conscription is the only option open as we must fulfill our EU obligation ... woe says the parents we don’t want little Johnny in the army ... hmmm says the government we take your point so to make it fair , conscription only applies to those not taking university at oxbridge or whatever ( so their little dharlings have an exemption clause) but everyone else not at uni from say 17 to 22 it’s army time for you lad !!!!


That’s were we are heading , the Eu NEEDS AN ARMY FOR PEACEKEEPING to prevent any more of Angela’s mates coming to stay and with it upsetting other Eu states causing them to brexit !!!!

Wake up to the super power you are wanting to remain in !!!!

Re: Watch Out UK Youth.

The EU Army kicked off yonks ago
https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/05/22...r-its-command/

1(GE/NL)Corps is a multinational formation consisting of units from both the Royal Netherlands Army and German Army.

Secenario for you to ponder, would the above units be deployed by Herr Junker to put down a local disruption like for example the Catalan problem.

Or will it just be used to stop Germany’s Migration Problem by sending them to Africa? Thus saving Merkel ass.

Re: Watch Out UK Youth.

Surely some of the youths would miss out on the key skills such as tagging and bus shelter smashing.
