Young people in Britain will soon be offered the chance of a “gap year” through a new paid program in the armed forces, the government announced Saturday.
You hate the army training, and that’s fine. It does provide some instruction on dress, deportment, physical exercise and hygiene, that many modern kids lack. It’s like a finishing school, now. Knowing how to work as a team and perform basic first-aid is just a bonus.
I said that after the university system was destroyed, that offering this (in my opinion, weak and divisive) alternative isn’t going to help create more jobs, which is what is sorely needed.
Its kinda hillarious that you assume there’s a lack of jobs because young people supposedly don’t know those things, or that making individuals more competitive will create more jobs. That’s not how any of this works.
You also learn that shit hiking or playing sports, and are much likely to get raped by an officer or shot by someone who’s absolutely in the right than you are in the b*****h military
