Conscription

[mosssideblue]

So they have people serving in the military from all backgrounds.

Fact is, information I just posted is true. If you wish to believe the mighty Russia are nothing but a few troops wiht old muskets or bow and arrows then good luck!


What's this lets speak in code? google it if your bothered

OK Vlad.
Fact is the Russians have millions of people of fighting age, not trained fighters.

Don't think anyone in the West wants to go to war, that's why they pussyfooted with aid to Ukraine for so long. But Europe can no longer bury its head in the sand and hope it all goes away.

I don't see any country except Ukraine needing conscription, especially modern technologically advanced militaries.

Same mood music in a lot of countries in Europe at the moment and similar comments made the news over here last week.
Anyone betwee 16 and 70 can be enlisted to the "war effort", but the maximum age for active servise is 47. There is talk of increasing it (70 is the new 50!). Sweden alone won't last long in a full frontal attack, it will be more of a resistance movement wearing an invader down.

I'm mid 50s but I'd probably go. I don't see why it should always fall to the young. I'd let them stay at home and give them a chance to experience the things that I have in my life. I actually saw this coming a while back and have been training biathlon for a few years. Not sure about the rules for ex-pats being caaled up in the UK, but I'd hold out for a rank of Major before taking the trip over.

I’ll go I’ve got sod all else to do. Although I’d want the rank of Field Marshall.

The youth have a simple choice in this situation where a hostile enemy is invading:

Do they want a future where they have no home, no money, no hope of ever raising a family in a safe environment or retiring.

OR

Do they want a future where they have no home, no savings, no hope of ever raising a family in a safe environment or retiring but also now everything is ON FIRE.

Make your choice, Gen Z/Millennials.

My guess is that any able bodied men between the ages of 17 and 45 could be called up, if they did this the first thing the guys should do is declare that they now identify as Women and no court would dare over rule them?

Seriously though how the hell would they enforce this? who would round the people up and get them where they need to go? The Police and Army have been stripped to the bone, the Government couldnt enforce Covid rules let alone conscription.

If they did try, then the starting point should be by sending anyone convicted of a violent crime or sex abuse.

Probably easier to declare yourself a pacifist.

Politicians hide themselves away, they only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor.

Yeah

Yeah

If people realised we are human just like them and we have rights too and we are not sheep, Then maybe Governments or World powers and Royal families would not start Wars

Hopefully they look to the prisons and pull together some larger scale dirty dozen program
