Message | In this country we have a system whereby citizenship is earned through Imperial Service. This is not really compatible with forced military service as the whole concept is to reward those who volunteer, putting the Empire before themselves for a couple of years or so. |

Message | I've changed my mind after reading it very carefully. 'All adults upon completion of schooling CAN be required in times of war to serve a term in the military'. Always worth keeping it as an option isn't it? |
