We're not going to fight anyone. All we'll do is to send some drones and planes to bomb somebody. And that will be that.

Germany is considering introducing conscription for all 18-year-olds, as it looks to boost its troop numbers in the face of Russian military aggression.
Military planners in Berlin are in the final stages of discussing three options, two of which involve a form of conscription, according to leaked plans reported in the German media.
Boris Pistorius, the defence minister, is set to go public with the official plans by June.
In one of the options being discussed, Germany would bring back a compulsory military year for young men once they turn 18, which was suspended in 2011, and apply it to women as well. This would require a change to the German constitution, but is seen inside the ministry as most likely to receive societal approval.
Another option would only apply to 18-year-old men, but would not see everyone selected. They would be required to fill in an online form and could then be chosen for service, according to details leaked to Die Welt newspaper. This is seen by the defence ministry as “a strong signal” to both allies and rivals.
The third option would avoid compulsory service, focusing instead on “optimising” the current system by engaging in more proactive recruitment campaigns.
However, Mr Pistorious is believed to be against that route. During a trip to Washington this week, he said: “I’m convinced that Germany needs a form of military conscription.”

The rebirth of the Wehrmacht is another great triumph for Vlad Putin.
Young people all over the western world are going to just love what the globalist left neolibs and neocons have in store for them. War, famine, poverty, and slavery to their wealthy overlords who will use them as sacrifices to get more power and wealth.
Planning for the Ukie defeat. It is wise to plan however, wake me up if Vlad decides to invade the EU ( he won’t- his stated goals are clear).
The German government is more if a threat to Germans than Putin is. Unless something changes.
NATO was formed to keep the Krauts in line.
Pistorius wants war slaves!
Germany will get yet another ass kicking. And the only part of their society that likes to fight is their moslems.
Germans have to learn a lesson every several decades.
And the Germans have little industrial capacity anymore because of “green” and loss of fossil fuels.
And Germans having delusions of grandeur again cannot win against Russia. They have no martial prowess, their Army has unions, and then their are 6000 nukes.
They can play toy soldier all they want, but if they ever make an actual move, they get vaporized in 15 minutes.
Dean Wormer: And I have contacted each of your draft boards and informed them that you are now all eligible for military service.
it took several thousands of years for the germanic people to develop into the teutonic knights of the Crusades and then the small but powerful Prussians of the late middle ages. Those traditions knowledge training pride and frankly gene pool are gone from Germany and what took 1000s of years to create would not be rebuilt in a generation. There is no “warrior ethos” left in Germany. They can conscript everyone, but there is no warrior ethos to do the training or receive the training. At best, the German army is like a weak peace corps.
Then they became the Nazis.
And thanks for exposing the first problem for Germany. You called it the Wehrmacht. They haven’t been called that since they got their ass kicked in 1945.
The Bundeswehr (Army and Navy) has an Army branch called the Herr.
Like with you, millions of Germans recoil at the thought of a draft to support what people like you will use to cause them to recall WWII.
Going nowhere. And besides, they don’t have enough broomsticks.
Nope. Drill instructors in 1968 are one thing. Today it’s a lesbian or homo, and they are immersed in woke.
The US military is not capable of imparting anything good to modern kids.
We're not going to fight anyone. All we'll do is to send some drones and planes to bomb somebody. And that will be that.
Maybe they just want to be better prepared to defend themselves.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
“”””Germany would bring back a compulsory military year for young men once they turn 18, which was suspended in 2011””””
2011 isn’t exactly ancient history.
Wonder how many of the military age “refugees” would show up for service.
