For the proposed National Service Act 2011, conscripts are to wear a seperate uniform to the professional \"regular\" soldiers. Once the 18 months military training is completed the conscripts are to remain on the reserve list of the military for 3 years to assist our over-stretched \"regular\" armed forces; freeing up time for the regular forces to act in those areas which non-professional conscripts should/can not.\r\n\r\nThis proposed compulsory military training is to demonstrate to young UK citizens the meaning of discipline and a sense of worth within their communities.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-10T04:08:42.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:47.490Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:33:51.751Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-10T04:08:42.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
