    I’m not sure if Denmark is one of those but for some states there’s unfortunately little choice. Not like we in Finland want to be next to Russia. But only men having to serve is an obvious equality issue.

      There’s plenty of choice that doesn’t involve giving up your rights and become a slave to an authoritarian government. Such as voting for people who’s goal is to help people and not exploit them, or fight against and not support corrupted politicians.

        Ever heard of “solidarity”? You can’t just live safe while your countrymen risk their lives to defend you. If you don’t like it, you have plenty of time to emigrate in peacetime.

        If shit hits the fan, it’s too late. YOU made the choice to stay in a country where you were obligated to defend you neighbour if called upon. You can’t reap the benefits of collective protection and responsibility and then run off when it’s time to step up and do the dirty work.

          Yeah ever heard of solidarity? Fucking up people daily like governments and politicians do it’s the opposite of that

          YOU made the choice to stay in a country

          So if you were a 17 years old russian you would buy a one way plane ticket and leave the country?

          Sound like you are putting the blame on people rather than the corrupted politician criminals responsible for all of this.

            I don’t see Russia, or other authoritarian countries mentioned in the thread I’m responding to. This is about conscription in a democratic country where only adults are conscripted.

      But don’t you think only women being the only ones in charge of giving birth to the next generation is an obvious equality issue, too?

        Well, we can’t change that with legislation but we can change who gets conscripted

          Sounds like something a crazy dictator would do.

          Everyone will now be able to have children for the glorious motherland

            What a softie. A real dictator would say something like

            Everyone is now required to give birth for the glorious motherland, and those that refuse will be shot as traitors.
