Sorry if I'm missing the point, but why will it confuse the Brexiteers?

I’m obviously being dumb, but why would France reintroducing National Service confuse someone who voted to leave the European Union?

Appears to be a straight forward and well explained article.
Im not confused in the slightest

I wouldn't fancy doing it myself but it's a good idea for the youth of today.

It's nothing to do with the EU, its a French national policy

Yes, that is, I think, the point we are making.

Yes but Brexiters were all about bringing back control and governing ourselves and there is France doing just that while still in the EU. Maybe that's the point the OP was making.
What? No one said that countries within the EU can't do anything at all.

Really?
I dont believe the OP is anywhere close to the level of arsehat you seem to be taking him for.

If he was, then he’s as dumb as you’ve just shown yourself to be.
How on earth can you suggest that “bringing back control and governing ourselves” equates to enforcing National Service on our youth?
You’re wrong on every level.

Have the French got an army?
Yes, but they are no good after lunch.

Gendarmes are part of the military.

I think he thinks a lot of older Conservative voters like the idea of National Service. The sort that were likely to vote for Brexit.
Just s theory.

Macron chastised a youth recently in public about respect when he called out to him from a crowd calling him Manu.
Perhaps that was the tipping point for his decision for introducing National Service.
