Cadets - Part Two

Can giving a twelve-year-old a gun be a good thing? We meet the UK's Army Cadet Force to find out.

In a new episode of Rule Britannia, VICE joins the UK's Army Cadet Force and asks what the youth club can give British kids who may not have a lot else.

The Army Cadet Force has over 46,000 cadets from the ages of 12 to 18, training in 1700 detachments all over the country. The super low-cost club evenings and training camps equip teenagers with discipline and skills in anything from orienteering and military knowledge, to weaponry, first aid, and sports.
