I would say it's a fair point, however I think the opposing argument would be that, in the name of progression, sometimes we have to make changes to what we do.What annoys me is that people who didn't have to do something like this, and benefitted from the fact they didn't have to, are now going to make others do it without a care for how it will effect them
I'm not talking specifically about national service, but rather there's been changes imposed on a new generation by an older one for what were the right reasons.
