    My country is about to re-introduce mandatory military service, but with a twist, now it isn’t mandatory, but if you do it you’ll be “heavily helped” in regards to school votes etc, they’re basically coercing people with bad grades (basically 80% of young Italians, according to a statistic I just made up) to enroll and fight for nato interest, at least its 40 days and not 2 years like before (but still, in case of war [and the threat is there] it will be prolonged indefitievly)

      Step 1: gut education, double gut public education

      Step 2: lament falling grades and quality of life

      Step 3: promise a way out in exchange for murdering some children to further interests of the capital noble service to democracy
