Only whites should have to complete military service.
@4ZG3TJM3yrs3Y
a separate 'army' should be created that does not focus on defence or military at all but on emergency service and relief for natural disasters and ecological and social assistance learning and using skills for building, repairing, planting, medical aid and even just plain old sandbagging. all can become trained volunteer fire fighters and assist in any and all emergency situations around the country and perhaps even overseas boosting out emergency services where ever needed. these skills are non violent and transferable when service is complete. similar to the peace corps but australian based. exemptions for those doing further study or with sole care of children.
@4Z3YXPK3yrs3Y
No, we have a professional Military, not a babysitting service.
@9K8TZN22mos2MO
Yes, as reservists. One year of basic training in ADF to build gun and defense literacy while building mateship and an egalitarian national psychology. Undertaken immediatly after the HSC and before University. The year would expose all young Australians (and refugees) to all education and career paths in ADF. Thereby potentially increasing recruitment of young Australians who are paid while they study and do a tour of duty. And potentially leading to a more agile national enterprise and a strong national defense and personal ethos.
@8VCDSDD3yrs3Y
yes but they should have the choice if they participate in violence
@8V8M4TH3yrs3Y
No, recidivist offenders should.

Germany has unveiled the most sweeping military reforms since the cold war, including the possible revival of national service, as part of efforts to better prepare its armed forces to defend Nato territory.Speaking in Berlin on Thursday on the military alliance’s 75th anniversary, defence minister Boris Pistorius said he had signed an order to reorganise the German military from top to bottom.“It is a landmark reform . . . Our goal is to restructure the Bundeswehr in such a way that it is best positioned in the event of defence, in the event of war,” said Pistorius. “Nobody should have the idea of attacking Nato territory — this is what we [want to] convey.”The measures are part of a huge shift in Germany’s attitude towards its armed forces, reflecting what Chancellor Olaf Scholz said was a Zeitenwende or turning point in security policy after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago.A single operational command will take charge of four new component forces, with cyber warfare raised to an equal footing alongside land, air and sea operations.Military officials drawing up the plans have been given six months to implement them. A key demand from the ministry is that the Bundeswehr will be made ready for compulsory national service in Germany, Pistorius said, should a decision be taken to reintroduce it. The country stopped its mandatory military service — as well as the option to serve in non-military institutions — in 2011.A defence ministry proposal on a model of national service for young adults will be put before German politicians in the coming weeks, he added.
