They’re not mad, they’re genocidal. They want you dead. That’s what conscription *is*, state-sanctioned genocide.

The fact that the only people ignorant of why this is an issue are the ones who make the decisions speaks volumes. Great post.

To be fair, they are using a political strategy which closely resembles clutching at straws.

The denuded British industrial base presents a problem that I think can be solved quickly. As Brits are highly experienced in knife crime from that dangerous hotbed of potential violence known as a "kitchen", I propose arming the men with knives and swords as personal weapons due to their lower manufacturing requirements. Existing Gurkha units can train existing troops in advanced techniques.

Knives and swords can also be a lucrative export business, allowing the industrial base to be used in peacetime.
