EU Germany may introduce conscription for all 18-year-olds - Both men and women could be called up to boost numbers in the armed forces

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.”

Mr Pistorius, who polls regularly show to be the country’s most popular politician, has previously described the decision to suspend conscription as “a mistake”.

Its possible reintroduction comes as Germany’s ageing society means the number of soldiers heading into retirement is outstripping the number of new recruits joining up to replace them.

Meanwhile, Berlin has also set a target of raising the size of its armed forces from some 180,000 today to more than 200,000.

The defence ministry is believed to be sceptical that this target can be met without some form of conscription.

Opposition within government​

Mr Pistorius is likely to face considerable resistance to his plans from inside the German government, however.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, has previously voiced his opposition to such a move, while ministers from junior coalition partners the Free Democrats and the Greens have also stated they would oppose it.

Nonetheless, momentum for reintroducing conscription is growing.

At its party conference this week, the centre-Right Christian Democrats (CDU), Germany’s main opposition party, reversed its stance by voting for a motion to support the “reintroduction of conscription in a step-by-step process”.

Mr Pistorius has signalled an openness to working across party lines, saying he was “pleased that the CDU is on a similar path to the one I have been working on”.

And do note that in the U.S the NDAA increases the draft age to 35 it's not going to be just zoomies getting fucked.

I didn't see an "if" in there, are you saying they did or if they will?

 

[frozen_runner]

But the thing is that women never face combat. People mistake armies as being 90% combat when in really it's less than 10%. You have a fuckton of bureaucratic/backline jobs that might as well be done by women and faggots, while anything involving real danger are done by men.

That's not very equitable. Someone needs to change that.

How the hell does everyone in that image have the AGP smirk including the person who's out of focus?

Femoids BTFO!

Watch in amazement as young women embrace motherhood once again, and right before their deployment begins!

Behold, as this becomes the miracle necessary to pull Germany out of its demographic death spiral

 

[ZazietheBeast]

This is going to be coming to all western nations in thr next couple years.

And do note that in the U.S the NDAA increases the draft age to 35 it's not going to be just zoomies getting fucked.

...And if gets fucked enough, its gonna raise to 40 - 60 and a call for expats to fight for their country. As seen with the Ukraine war.

The other thing is, I wonder if the Army is gonna be having combat diapers because I am certain there's gonna be a chunk of zoomies and oldies who will purpose shit and piss their pants to escape the draft all the while hailing Hitler or saying stuff that is Globohomo unfriendly.

Poop and pee no draft for me.

I'm willing to bet good money this has more to do with the massive, violent and parasitical population of goat fuckers in Germany than it does Russia. Globohomo has realized their "pets" aren't going to sit back and let their children be drugged, trooned out and raped by the perverts in power. That the browns aren't going to bolster the ponzi scheme welfare system and are simply going to take. Gonna take a civil war to dislodge them from Europe.

You are delusional if you think the german goverment wont cuck on the first protest and teary eyed mother\ conscript in the newspaper. Immigrants know how to riot and protest and will make the goverment to ensure equity in conscription . They will conscript everyone but the germans whos cuck family will not do shit will be sent to the frontlines while ahmed will peel potatoes back home for some officers ball. Fucking hell norway who doesnt tolerate half of the shit that swedish did cucked few times to muslims protesting bompenger because they caused too much issues.

Anyone white atm learn how to fucking defect on the other side preferably russian your goverment will send you to the meatgrinder and your family at best will send strongly worded letter upon your dead body arrival. You countriesmen are cucked run while you can.

 

[Absolutego]

This could be based if it helps to make adults out of man- and womanchildren, and I as a Russian welcome Germany getting based. A based Germany is a friendlier Germany.

Dude whenever Germany got based in a military fashion they started looking hungrily eastward. I think you'd much prefer the supplicant Germany that would buy your gas to shut up their hippies and direct their autism over exercising soft power in the Balkans.
Like, the French have the Ardennes as some kind of natural barrier to give the Krauts a hard time, the Italians have the Alps, the Scandis have the Kattegat and the fact that Denmark is one gigantic worthless sandbar, for you guys it's basically one long highway to move troops through. I don't think you really thought this through.

I never said they would not cuck. I just don't "muh russia" as the reason for this push.

Could not agree more.

 

[Mitt Doggy Dogg]

Do they conscript the migrants of the darker persuasion? You know the ones that might have just got there? Seems like if your not willing to die for your new country you need to go back home

The last time Germany went based-beserk mode 30 million Russians paid the price. Sometimes I wonder which side you're really on.

Imagine being G*rman and forced to die for Zelensky's Israel of Europe...

Germany joining the saber-rattling alongside France has been fascinating to watch. I figured a general European war, if it came, would be over the disintegration of the EU or something, not curtailing Russia.
I still don't think it's close, but with the Krauts contemplating conscription and Macron saying France would go without NATO's say-so to defend the current Ukrainian regime if it came to it, it's certainly trending towards that direction.

It's going to be interesting to see Macron and his wife Jean-Michel on the front lines... alone.

Go to the Russian thread of the conflict. Russia is pounding Ukraine without lube regardless of how many wunderwaffens the west sends to Ukraine and trainers and mercenaries. They get grounded into dust like nothing by the Russians . It makes whole Europe to shit its pants and do some retarded shit .

It is the real reason as in they need army to fend themselves since USA is going to throw in the towel soon .

Well, I always lived under the impression that if war ever came again to Europe, it would either start in the Balkans (traditions are meant to be honored) or because some deluded shitlib retard LARPing as the government of one of the stronger European countries walked into Reactionary Russia Tsarist Boogaloo-shenanigans unprepared. For a long time I thought the Balkan's "nth time's the charme"-scenario to be more likely, simply for the fact it always has been a clusterfuck. Now? Well... shitlibs gonna shitlib, I guess.

Technically there's Poland in between Germany and Russia (even though it may as well be one giant highway in military terms), which makes me question why the Russians have historically been so eager to team up with the Germans to slice that place up like a Thanksgiving turkey. You'd think having a neutral buffer state would be the safest option there, but noooo.

Women could be very useful in the military

For example injecting them with smallpox or some other viral agent and allowing them to be captured, the multiple rapes ensuing, especially by high profile enemies wanting to keep the pretty ones could provide the close contact needed to decapitate enemy command and cull their troops more effectively than 3000 bombs for the price of one cheap injection and one life

Super deadly biological suicide bombers if you will

the Russian mindset vis-a-vis borders has always been "There are no neutral buffer states, only enemies that haven't attacked yet"
