So this poll is basically 50/50 if the OP is being unreasonable, or put another way, your guess is as good as anyone else.
The 'choices' if/when citizens, are ordered by their government to take the biggest risks for...usually 'freedom' is what gets wheeled out, are:
-
Go to war - that's appealing
-
Go to jail - that's appealing
-
Go abroad ( assuming this is an option, unlikely for most ) leave your life you've built over your lifetime with a strong likelihood this is gone if you go back to this post war - that's appealing
Either of these means your life will likely never be the same post choice and possibly or probably, depending on the rose tint of your glasses, for the worse.
The UK may follow Sweden and Norway by making conscription equal, although most women likely won't enter the infantry even though strength isn't required to pull a trigger, so will be doing support roles.
Those who believe this report was an exercise in pressing the government for military spend are blissing themselves with ignorance it seems, as even if this one report had this as it's intention, the idea is being drip fed into the wider media by others.
Likely estimated consequences of choices and please add if others not included:
Go to War -
if male, dismemberment, disfigurement, torture, burned, PTSD, death, deaf, blind etc
if female, PTSD, possible physical damage from collateral warfare, rape, loss of spouse, Son
Go to Jail -
Male - beatings, rape, murder attempts, conviction on record when out, vilified by public
Female - beatings, murder attempts, possible rape by wardens, conviction on record, public vilified though likely less
Go abroad -
Similar for both sexes
People need to consider their options and decide their reasons as this will likely impact the rest of their lives in an enormous way.
People need to make their own hearts and minds up NOW.
