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.
this is most likely from feeling let down by the liberal party. especially since they seem to push in a direction that only profits them
sadly, i don’t see the ndp gaining any popular votes and people will flock to conservative nutcases hoping for change
