The Bundeswehr is facing a dramatic shortage in personnel. Now Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has rekindled the debate over reintroducing conscription.
I really hope they introduce a year of social service. No matter if military, police or healthcare, everyone should experience what it feels to serve society at least once.
An interesting aspect I didn’t think of so far was recently brought by German news influencer LeFloid: It adds people to the mix of police and military that wouldn’t normally be there. The far-left tend to avoid them, while the far-right embraces them. This creates a dangerous imbalance between left and right views in these structures and opens up room for radicalisation.
Oh yea I can’t wait to be jailed and fined if i don’t want to be forced to serve for free a country that destroy the environment to mine lignite and sell weapons to saudi arabia.
I’m totally against the military part. It’s just elite people deciding on the lives of people that are not in power. And when the time is right, they’ll take away your freedom of choice and mandate you to join a war. My body my rules.

Correct. (Only it goes both ways - the left do get influenced by that mix during their service.)
Terrible Idea - in Austria many young men do a 9 month long social service instead of military service and many often get treated like shit.
