;D   They had national service or community service in Spain. My mates boyfriend did his a few years ago and chose to do community service. They lived in Tenerife at the time and he had to take time off work twice a day to drive the school bus and drop all the kiddies off at home. He actually really enjoyed it and didn't want it to finish. I think it should be a choice. To conscript people into the Army is all well and good in theory, bear in mind how you would feel if it was a member of your family and they had to go to war. We were all worried about my cousin in Iraq, and he has been in the forces for years completely voluntarily
