The new military service law requires all men under 45 to seek approval from the Bundeswehr to leave the country for longer than three months. It also obliges the military career center to issue it.
And that’s how it should be! It should be mandatory, and we should have it in the US too. Two years once you turn 18. Get people out of their local bubbles and show them what the world is like, make them useful citizens.
USA is only waging wars of aggression. It would be horrible forcing people to that shit, IMO.
In Finland or Germany it’s very different because our armies exist strictly for self defence. When the US military should see military action, is decided in D.C.
But when the Finnish military should see military is decided in Moscow.
If your wars are something you fan decide about, it would be extremely immoral having compulsory military service.
In countries that cannot decide when to not have a war, it’s immoral to not have compulsory military service, as that would mean only the poorest having to bear the brunt of the war.

How self defensive of them to occupy Afghanistan…
Weird how militarized nationalism still has any fans or supporters, but you do you I guess. I hope you’re glad your guy is in office.
