      the war in ukraine has no german soldiers, and germany said they wont send german soldiers in, and the military industry already profits from it by selling their shit to ukraine.

      so compulsary military service has nothing to do with ukraine, so the only other reason to have it is to build up the german army for its own usage.

      if anything, the afd would deploy german troops on the side of russia, bcs oligarchic cunts recognize oligarchic cunts

        Conscription is a hindrance to joining wars far away. By and large, a country’s citizens do not want to go to war outside its borders. On the other hand, countries with professional militaries are relatively free to conduct warfare abroad without the populace getting angry, see the US.

        Also, like, the absence of a direct causal link does not mean two things have nothing to do with each other.
