velo army Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Not for me, Clive. Or Nigel, as it may be. War sounds crap and I doubt hugely I'd believe it in enough to take a gun in my hand. My feet are flat as f**k though, so they may decide to just keep my application on file. Edited January 24 by velo army 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It would be impossible for Britain to enact conscription on a mass scale. There isn’t the infrastructure to equip, train and supply a large army or an influx of conscripts. The British Army has been reducing in size since the 1980s. Drafting a load of P&Bers in a Full Metal Jacket style boot camp sounds excellent though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third rake. One of my granddads got shot by ze Germans in two wars. He kept shooting them so he was fair game right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OF fans as infantry cannon fodder/suicide waves. Mods as Military Police. Previously banned posters and aliases as psy ops.

Central Belt Caley Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I initially replied no but thinking about it, having tinder pics of me holding a machine gun would be pretty sick. So for that reason I’m in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I don't think many people understand what conscription is. You don't actually get a choice or any say in the matter. As Spike Milligan said - Quote “The die was cast. It was a proud day for the Milligan family as I was taken from the house. "I'm too young to go," I screamed as Military Policemen dragged me from my pram, clutching a dummy. At Victoria Station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked "This is your enemy." I searched every compartment, but he wasn't on the train. At 4.30, June 2nd, 1940, on a summer's day all mare's tails and blue sky we arrived at Bexhill-on-Sea, where I got off. It wasn't easy. The train didn't stop there.” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
