Maybe this is a bad take from someone with no military knowledge, but I never understand how “we need bodies for the meat grinder” so let’s do conscription is often only mandatory for men?
You’re either going to shove a gun in their hand and point them in the direction to shoot, have them run some equipment/weapon, or have them in a support role. Both men and women can do those things equally well.
Any very generalized physical differences between men and women would have minimal difference in the ability to carry out their tasks.
Procreation. Long term it’s less worse if it’s half the men that get shot
So we aren’t equal then?
Of course not
A new law introducing voluntary military service came into force in January
If they don’t have compulsory service, and voluntary service is new this year, how have they had any military at all?
No one likes conscription, but when Russia starts invading, are you going to just let the country go undefended? If you wait to sign up until the missiles start flying, it’s too late.
