Germany's "rearmament" debate expands to include Mandatory Military Service - PlatformNews

Germany has neither the demgraphic structure nor the necassary training infrastructure or personnel to actually realise any such endeavour. This is wishful thinking coupled with delusions of grandeur. On the positive side, the fact that Germany's most populous age groups are going to retire in the coming 5-7 years coupled with the fact that the age groups which enter the work force to replace them are the least populous age groups below the ages of 80 and above woulod render the economic impact of the implementation of such measures absolutely catastrophic.
