Socialists for Soldiers

That's not a proper alliteration with "for" in the middle.

Option c

Liberals link lifeguards

Clive Lewis and Dan Jarvis are successful graduates of the programme

Being a bit more serious though.  Why not bring back national service?

They still have it in a number of countries.

I agree. My nephew has been twice to the training weeks (once for Paras - I think - and once for Royal Engineers) but both times he got cold feet and came home within the first month.

The first time he said it was all about fighting etc. I told him the only Army that doesn't fight is the Salvation Army
