    In my (european) country there is a mandated draft. You get paid 5 euros a month, the only personal gear you get is the outfit, boots, winter coat with some underwear and a bedbug-pillaged blanket and pillow that most dare not use.

    Why am I mentioning this? Because there’s nothing stopping the UK or other nations from establishing similar draft conditions given a good enough excuse in a war economy.
