    Forcing conscription on someone who's political view would bitterly oppose it simply wouldn't work, yes I think it's a good idea but no I don't think it would work in Ireland.

    Like i said as in Germany if you dont want to serve your Country your put to work in Hospitals NOW perhaps that would work over here too:o

    Furthermore, with free education those going to college are not going to want to take a year or two out of their education so easily

    Conscripting a generation that's thoroughly incapable of looking after itself in the wilderness of punchestown racecourse and the fields of stradbally into an organisation styled (depending on how its translated) the "volunteers of Ireland"
    does have a certain ring of irony to it.

    Ya in my day we walked 50 miles to get to school etc.

    Give it a rest, not all of this generation is like that, maybe if you look past a few "rich kids" living of their parents borrowed money inside the pale

    I do think a good ol extra bit of patriotism around the place would help to get people's interests in the Army and conscription but that could be considered "fascist" which is bull
