Die erste Gruppe von 125 jungen Reservisten wurde im Rahmen des neuen niederländischen Programms „Nationale Weerbaarheid“ ausgebildet. Ziel sind 20.000 Reservisten. Ausgebildete Soldaten, aber auch resiliente Bürger, die in Krisen Verantwortung übernehmen. Schon jetzt ein großer Erfolg. Viele junge Leute haben sich beworben

Feels very Dutch train soldiers, but also make sure they can fix your bike during a flood.
honestly pretty smart to combine basic military training with general crisis preparedness skills that could be useful in disasters or emergencies too
125 stepping up together discipline, unity, and a reminder that resilience is built one batch at a time.
This is a joke – 125 – 20 000, 18 million population.
This is the way
Build a proud popular organisation that empowers patriotic feelings.
The country, EU and actually the youth also needs this. Some youngsters come from troubled homes and these places can help them find their fit in society.
More batches have begun training. The pipeline is full for next year too. Young people from all walks of life. You can do your thing, study or work and be a reservist.
Younger people are desperate for meaning, community, pride and a sense of belonging. So long as it’s always voluntary and democratic it seems a good way to provide that.
Canada should do that as well
I’m not young and I would happily join.
