Sweden is to re-introduce military conscription starting next year. Around 4,000 young Swedes,
18-year-olds of both sexes, are expected to be called for
mandatory military service each year.
http://uk.businessinsider.com/afp-swede ... ?r=US&IR=TLithuania (set to be approved by parliament) and Ukraine (2014) are on the same track. I've never imagined myself as a military conscript until now. Wierd. I guess the whole spectre or war will become all too real. Anyone here who has been to bootcamp?
John McCain has been arguing for it for years. I don't know how well that will work out because in 2010:
A group of retired military
officials recently expressed
concern that school lunches are a threat to national security.
According to them, the food
being fed to children at public schools is making them "too fat to fight", leaving a potentially considerable gap in military recruitment.
