Norway is listed as like the most developed country in the world according to the human development index, yet they have something as unethical as mandatory military service.

Hexenherz 12/09/17 12:29:54 PM #19:	Norway's system is really lax, and you can conscientiously object if you so choose. Something like 16% of the people who get called to service every year actually go on to serve. In Switzerland you can opt instead for civil service which lasts for 340 days. Over 70% of the population voted AGAINST repealing conscription a few years ago, so it's apparently a popular system. They really just do an 18 week long boot camp, and then over the span of ten years do 10 3-week training sessions. ScArY!! Denmark's mandatory service period is between 4-12 months long. They have a lottery system where if you're physically fit you draw a number, and then if they didn't have enough volunteers that year then you have to serve... in 2014, 19 people were actually compelled to military service because the number of volunteers was so high. --- i dont like signatures <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:891885954] in What the a...

It toughens kids up, it only lasts 6 months or a year at max (in Finland at least, which is also thinking of dropping it to like 3 months), they learn some dicipline, get in better shape, learn valuable life skills, earn little bit of money, and mature up. Its also, possible to do civil duty for 6 months as well, where you don't go to army, but do useful stuff here and there instead, but you can also get shit jobs like wiping elderly people asses too, and can get bad stigma in eyes of older people.

We shouldn't promote toxic masculinity I mean toughens them up in a positive way, not make them bullies or assholes. Toughens them up in a way that they get up when they should get up, and not cry about little things. This is very important because in Finland we have pampering society, its good and bad thing, because it gives lots of safety nets, but it also encourages sloth and makes people kinda weaker. --- Can't think any good sig <cite>Sami1000 posted [p:891887876] in What the a...

A lot of people become better versions of themselves when they join military service. They learn discipline, teamwork, leadership, mission focus, physical fitness and many other skills that can aid them in various areas of their lives in and out of the military. There are also usually other benefits that are offered such as bonus pay, housing allowances, travel assistance, higher education incentives and more. Military service is not ideal for everyone, but assuming that it's just a waste of one's life is a bit silly and ignorant. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:891893782] in What the a...
