And I reckon there would be all these so called people who consider themselves British that would object and refuse to fight if for example it was a war against the Middle East countries. In that case all those who refuse should be thrown out the UK.
I don?t think a lot of the young generations have the balls to do it as was the case in WW2; there isn?t the moral fibre anymore.
Desertion once in would be a problem, the only good point to that is you can still be executed in the field for it!! J And rightly so.

I think we would have big problems trying to get younger people if there was WW3. I'm 25 so come into this category but I can't see many people my age wanting to join up either voluntary or otherwise, they'd miss their X-Box too much!
Personally I wouldn't have a problem which probably explains why both myself and brother are in the TA!
