I told my kid a while back that if anything like this cropped up to emigrate asap. I suggested Canada as he did six months of his uni there. But he's not keen on Canada for some reason.

Tbf this is just repackaged big society stuff. Its been spun to sound more right wing than it is because its got the military element and the name ’National service’ but without that - if it were just the other part ie mandatory community service for 16-18 yo’s - this could easily be a Cameroon/Starmese soft tory policy.

French President Emmanuel Macron implemented Universal National Service in 2021. It is aimed at all 15 to 17-year-olds and seeks to encourage young French citizens to "develop their role in society" and promote social cohesion

But aren't highly trained and drilled regular troops dead scared of a teenager who has had 12 weekends doing national service?
