Michael Fallon’s plan for 150 more school cadet corps raises more questions than answers (A night in the field with a unit of Fallon’s school-age soldiers, 8 October). How about Junior Red Cross units instead? Or work with Médecins Sans Frontières? Or as Senior Scouts? If cadet corps are to have priority, then we must hope that the UN charter and the declaration of human rights will be on the agenda – and perhaps instructions about situations in which a soldier might have a clear duty to disobey orders.
