I see you don't understand that many European citizens are conscripts.
Not French citizens.
Finland, Switzerland, Austria, and Greece. These are the European countries with conscription. On paper, Norway and Sweden have conscription, but in all actuality there's basically no way you get conscripted involuntarily.
And Switzerland doesn't really count, they don't belong to the defense pacts
Yes.
I see you were too lazy to look out up yourself. The only European armies with conscripts are Finnland, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Turkey and of course Ukraine. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AConscription_map_of_the_world.svg
I see you, and pretty much everyone else, missed the point entieely
In that case your point either doesn't make sense or was badly explained. Both are entirely your fault.
and you don't understand the difference between a career soldier and a conscript. Let me enlighten you:
As a conscript you will be drafted only in a defense situation, an actual war in your own country. Simply spoken when the Russians are at your doorstep.
A career soldier can send to missions either an official NATO one or one approved by your country's commanding officer of your army.
I'm sure all those drafted/conscripts who went to Vietnam totally felt like they were defending their country from imminent attack!
you know that this is Europe here, right? But I see you don't even care, do you?
You're the one who talked about NATO, bud.
have another downvote.
Booohooo sniff sniff oh noes. Keep your head in the sand, ultimately it will be your demise I guess, I'm too old to get conscripted at this point. But I do remember the past.
🤣
These are not the guys they’ll send out in a war. Unlike Russia, Western nations don’t need cannon fodder.
You are right, I forgot, the west would never do that!
Thinking the wealthy class won't send you to war has got to but one of the smoothest brain takes I've heard all year.
