It's not irrelevent from the point of view of answering the question "Was the war with Nazi Germany necessary"?(Original post by AntiMagicMan)
Hitler's wish for peace was however completely irrelavant. That is a bit like us supporting a country in nuking a whole continent as long as they leave us alone. We have responsabilities, and the actions of one country will affect our country.

wouldnt complusary service cost loads though? Id prefer it's be used for the NHS. Plus I dont like the idea of a military based country, it would seem threatening to other countries.
Would women be included? I wanted to be an RAF pilot only to be told im not allowed, and i should try the Navy.
How can u compare a fighter plane to a bloody ship! -

Getting this thread back on track. I think that certain sectors of society would certainly benifit from military service however realistically its very expensive to do and altho it would benfit the individual i am not sure how benifitiual it would be for the country. Would i also be right in saying the German's are thinking of abolishing it? (military service) and if you take a country like Israel where they are forced to do it then i think it is not a good policy.

I would not necessarily agree that military service benefits the individual, either. You're out of school, you can't take a gap year, you're in the forces for 9 months (here in Germany anyway) and if you plan on doing a long degree (like medicine, or scientific research) it's quite a problem because you will be competing with younger people from other countries who will have the same qualifications. Take a guess as to who will get the job
I explained in the other thread what Germany's position is at the moment, I will explain it further if you want me to. Sorry I got a bit too worked up about itI feel everyone would benefit if military service were abolished. Europe is at peace now (thank God), what we need now are professional armies.

They may have meant the Royal Naval Air Force, you never know you might get to fly the Sea Harrier!! -

National Service would not be militarising the country. Europe will not be at peace for much longer. There are too many ingrained differences in our cultures. As stated in Yes Minister, the only reason britain has nuclear weapons is to protect us from the French and the only reason the French have them is to protect them from us!!
