Summary
Germany’s government approved a draft law requiring young men to indicate their willingness to serve in the military, aiming to increase military participation without reintroducing conscription.
The survey will target around 300,000 18-year-old males in 2024, with young women given the option to participate. This initiative follows years of recruitment challenges since Germany ended compulsory service in 2011.
With a growing focus on defense in response to Russian aggression, Germany seeks to increase its military personnel from 180,000 to 203,000 by 2030.
If they’ll get me out of the US, I’ll fight.
Germany also has a right-wing problem. One is the frying pan, the other the fire. Not sure which is which, but it wouldn’t be a great change.
Yes, Germany has a right-wing problem, but according to this poll, 74% would have voted for Harris and 11% for Trump.
Polls don’t work any more.
Also we don’t have a FPTP system, which might be a good thing as well (don’t @ me about Erststimme, I know, but it doesn’t change the overall point).
That’s just because they live in the 21st century.
Better food and better beer but that’s a fair point.
They just want to kill people, but also hate America.
I hope they do this on my country so I can draw a big fat juicy cock on the survey
And they have yet not arrived in the 20th(!) century. They are sending this form only to young men, not women.
The draft is actually harsher for women than for men: Men can refuse service at arms, women can’t refuse medical service.
