We have plenty of sheep. (still a bit irradiated granted, but probably safer than depleted uranium rounds)
We'd have to ask the Welsh Assembly for permission to being the conscription, but I think you've got a good idea there.

You know that, I know that...I guess we'll find out if Congress knows that over the next few days. I think we both know the answer to that one...

Some take months to get to Europe, and when they get there, they expect to get free housing and a job, plus any other benefits they can think of. Problem is, when they don't get what they want, they claim they are being treated unfairly, and start trouble, rioting in some places.

Don't know whether you want to help them or send them back?
Catch-22, of course, some people will state that the best thing to do is send them straight back or put them in camps or something, but immigration is as old as humanity, to them the streets of Western Europe are paved with gold, it is basically the new world for them, just as many saw America, and just like many who went to America, not all of them survive the experience. Unfortunately some nations, such as the UK, are getting to the point where immigration is becoming a social problem, and when that happens you get radicalisation of both sides and bad things occur.
I don't have the answer, but I know that if I was a young Afghan or Syrian who wanted to get away from the bloodshed and fighting, and take my family to a place where everything is supposed to be better then I wouldn't hesitate to get across Europe to the UK or France or wherever.
