Hundreds of teenage Croatians have reported for compulsory military service – for the first time since their country scrapped the requirement in 2008.
Training will take place at barracks in three locations around Croatia, with recruits expected to report to the facility nearest to their homes.
There, they will receive their kit and dormitory assignments. For the next two months, they will have to submit to military discipline.
Lawsuits for excessive abusive behaviour coming in 3…2…1….
This is such a bad idea to begin with.
EDIT: I like how people downvote without actually producing any argument xD
All teenagers or only men?
The volunteer system is the best system.
Poland has a growing number of soldiers because they attract police, public service workers, and the youth with their higher salaries and benefits.
Money is a far better motivator than bullshit sense of honor. Not to mention that most soldiers are patriotic and nationalistic anyway so you’ll end up getting well paid and motivated men.
The whole thing is ridiculous also because of the media representation of the whole reintroduction. It’s so pathetic: young men saying it’s their honor and duty, mothers crying, priests doing the blessings of those recruited and the media reporting all of this. It’s so bad it’s almost funny, but it’s a sign of the times in contemporary Croatia. People just love to live in the past.
Good. Hope we introduce this as well.
Before anyone asks, yes, I have done my conscription service voluntarily.
Crazy that reddit will downvote this, but americans can keep on being ameritards
There is no not-criticisable argument for conscription.
– Conscripts are literally forced to use violence
– It’s a violation of personal freedom
– It’s endangering human life
– If it’s only for men, it’s sex discrimination
– Anyone unwilling to cooperate, yet forced will be a burden to the system — a person themself decides what to do, you can’t force someone unwilling
– If the important thing is to show numbers, those conscripts are there literally only to be targets
There is no morally justifiable reason for conscription.
Shame on Croatia.
Their last war might have been just, but it ended with many deaths on both sides.
