Maybe he just thought that sounded good and adopted that position without any study...but so many folk fall for belief rather than seek research.

In 1961 the British army went all professional.
It is beyond doubt that you get a better quality of serviceman from being fully professional.
The National Serviceman just does enough to do what he/she has to do,with the prime aim of counting down the days to his/her demob in two years.
It is inefficient to have national service as a person is just trained to do his/her job and they are out the door.
Ask any commander of an armed force what kind of soldier he would prefer,he will tell you every time,a professional any day.
The armed forces are not baby sitters for people who cant parent their children.
