    Tough luck. People are so selfish. The country they live in, people and culture should be worth protecting against, even with force.

    Russia and US have destabilized europe and europe needs this in every member state.

    Oh, I did serve my compulsory military service myself.

      If you stop having faith in your country, it’s hard to willingly defend it. I’d like to see a European solution to defense. But not by force. However, the way it was before, you could opt for social services instead which is way more helpful to the country and it also builds character and makes you care for your people and surroundings. That is something I’d like to see return.
