Michael Caine and National Service Nonsense

Sir Michael Caine, proving once again that celebrities are not the most sagacious of political commentators:
National service should be reintroduced to give young people "a sense of belonging rather than a sense of violence", Sir Michael Caine has said.
Maybe I'm missing something, but just how on earth does forcing people to join the army stop people developing a sense of violence?

    The Army have enough problems as it is without being expected to house, feed, train, teach and civilise thousands of scumbags.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
