Any person on benefits (not for medical reasons) for longer than 24 months should automatically be put in the army for a 5 year tour of duty.
that may well buck peoples ideas up.

Cannot imagine the army having much use for many of them. (unless for target practice possibly)0

What costs the UK taxpayer the least.
A person on benefits, or a person in the Army ??'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -

My boobs would never fit in the uniform! :rotfl:We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

May well do, but seeing as many regiments will be disbanded in the next few years i don't see how the army has the capacity."An arrogant and self-righteous Guardian reading tvv@t".

i think you all misunderstand the point - they are not there to actually be brave soldiers. they are there to get up at 5.00am and do exercise, have some discipline, and not be hanging around the streets like scum or laying in bed til 1.00pm or watching daytime tv.
i get up early, i work, i can't sit around all day drinking and chatting with my mates smoking like these scumbags.
These people are filth and have it too easy. they need to face the life of those that work.0 -

... don't be too harsh. I watched daytime TV once and it was quite painful - I'd hate to do it everyday....0 -
I'm not quite sure why we should burden the armed forces - which is a professional and highly disciplined organisation - with people who don't want to be there.
If we want to get people up at 5.00am then change the signing on rules so that people have to sign on physically each week before 8.00am - but then all that'd do is clog up the roads for proper workers.Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.0
