At the end of October, the Bundeswehr said it counted 181,383 soldiers in its ranks — that's still some distance from the target of 203,000 that the German military hopes to reach by 2025. This has given rise to concern in times of Russia's war against Ukraine, which has once again reminded Germans how quickly conflicts can erupt in Europe.

Since taking office at the beginning of 2023, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has been thinking about ways to make the Bundeswehr more attractive as a career. He said he has received 65 concrete proposals from his ministry on recruitment and reforming training methods.

ist ja nicht so dass wir eine andere Wahl haben bei Arschlochstaaten wie Russland...

Und mal ehrlich den Wehrdienst verweigern war sehr einfach, zumindest hat im Gegensatz zu mir keiner meiner Freunde an der Waffe Dienst getan.

Wenn die Wehrpflicht zurückkommt dann aber bitte Geschlechterübergreifend. Wir haben damals 9-12 Monate verbraten während die Mädels schonmal im ersten Semester saßen.
