i do not understand why school children these days are taken to fun parks on their annual excursion days. These excursions are meant to be educative tours. In our days we were taken to factories, dam sites, power stations, etc. I think young children need to be exposed to the armed forces early in life. Can they not be taken to the local garrisson headquarters and see for themselves how some citizens have chosen to serve our country? That would be more meaningful than spending precious time, money and an excellent educative opportunity during a school or college excursion.Also, it may lead some of the youth to pursue a career in the defence services.
