Healey to put British youth in the shadow of death

NEW gap year-style schemes by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) are a step towards military conscription, peace campaigners warned yesterday.The two-year placements are said to be part of a new “whole-of-society” approach to defence.Defence Secretary John Healey told the i paper that they would “give Britain’s young people a taste of the incredible skills and training on offer across the army, Royal Navy and RAF … I want the outstanding opportunities on offer in our armed forces to be part of that conversation in homes across the UK.”
