All male citizens turning 18 must complete a medical examination to assess their fitness for military service.
If the number of volunteers falls short, a draft lottery will be implemented to select individuals for service in the Bundeswehr, Germany"s armed forces.
Women will also be included in the process, receiving a questionnaire designed to evaluate their potential readiness to serve in the military.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to expand the German military, with a target of increasing the number of active troops to 260,000 and reservists to 200,000. The duration of mandatory service is set at six months, with half of that time dedicated to basic training, ensuring that recruits are adequately prepared for their roles.
For those who choose to volunteer for military service, the compensation is approximately €2,600 per month. Additionally, individuals who sign contracts for longer than one year will be granted “short-term contract soldier” status, which includes pay comparable to that of professional military personnel.


The west just keeps passing the baton to see who will fail next at conquering eastern europe. France fail, germany fail, USA/NATO fail, now germany’s up to bat again.
I mean just look at the backgrounds of people like Merz or von der Leyen, these are descendant of the fascists who think this is their second chance.

Are you aware that Russia is also a European country?
Maybe some of the down votes are also for implicitly removing their European identity. Which is a westerner, racist and false narrative.
The US never had or fulfilled and obligations in NATO. NATO is part of the US empire.

How does it feel to be so right wing that your politics are indistinguishable from the villain in Dr Strangelove?
