- Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦, voices in many European countries are demanding the reintroduction of compulsory military service to strengthen their armed forces. Within the European Union 🇪🇺, 9 out of 27 countries already have military service programmes. But how do they work? And could these programmes be rolled out elsewhere in the continent?

You should include also Greece's case, its extraordinary that its mandatory for all men - only - for 12 months - nowdays - and they pay you 30 euros each month. I think but not sure that the number of every draft - every three months - it's around 15k of mostly young people.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Would it boost the Economy?
u need to look at it from many angles. the army is like an insurance you pay In case something happens they come.
@@Cyrano1987 I get you. I think it could also bring more social cohesion in the long term between groups of people who may never usually cross paths
@@Londonechoes for sure I served in Austria army 8 month and you can choose optional social service.
@@Londonechoes But make enemies of people who during peacetime would greet us with open arms. (And who most of us have never met before)
Benifits the military industrial complex nothing more.
400 euros a month for putting your life on the line, even bottle collectors earn more than that.
I work 9 hours a week and earn 3000 euros a month by delivering food to old people while their children can risk losing their lives for 400 euros a month.
I am not a slave to serve in the army.
But a slave to pay taxes and work for a living? Unless you already risk being drafted into the Russian army you could consider strengthening your own or waiting to be called under arms in a new Soviet army.
@@olufbagger As a Pole, I will not fight for the geopolitical interests of the Anglo-Saxons. Never.
@@macosm7818 You are so obviously fighting for the Russians, so I guess not. If they get their way, Poles will fight for them again.
War is a racket --read the book ☮️☮️
Never use your women how you gonna replace the dead😢
Women are slaughtered as civilians, so why not as combatants trying to defend their land and people?
Just look at the specific targeting of women and children in Gaza by the zionists, and in Eastern Ukraine by the Russians.
Not all women want to be bred?! It's like they have minds of their own. 🤷♂
However, I don't think they should be conscripted for frontline soldiers though.
There are only two morally-binding reasons to serve, to train and pick up arms for one's ethno-racial state, domestically, against any and all enemy-combatant's in "one's" government, societies, etc. and, to train and pick up arms for one's theocratic polity/community or state, domestically, against any and all enemy-combatant's in "one's" government, societies, etc.
Nationalism, if it is not ethno-racial or theocratic, is nothing more than imperialism, and to think one is a nationalist and serve an empire is to be a wittold, a knowing and willing cuckold.
Nationalism doesn't have to be imperialistic in nature. You sound like you like to adhere to stereotypes whenever possible. Most things have a grey zone between the sides of right-leaning or left-leaning... conservative vs liberal.
Serving can teach oneself many things such as better health, confidence, discipline, free and paid training in a field, etc. Each country will have different rules/laws on how long you will be a reservist for afterwards, but for a majority of people I think a short stint in the military would be beneficial. Not every country's military acts as the U.S. has so it's short-sighted to view all military service as the like.
Such a postive response after hearing nothing but Brexit and Trumpski for eight long years.
Boris mini Trump 😂
