Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

ahahaahahaha the fucking danes have an active conscription programme? the fuck they need that for lmao
møøse
And squirrel.
And swedes
in practice a good majority of people support it and basically see it as "community service", with it being more relaxed than US service and most people doing jack shit for several months (it's also not really mandatory since you can get out with conscientious objection and a number of other things)
a lot of european countries (pretty much all the north) have it, mainly from russia fearmongering and "pulling their weight in NATO" to make up for not giving as much money to it as america would like (i.e. denmark gives the US intelligence, supports them in missions, and lets them use greenland for military bases)
short answer: being good little imperialist minions for the empire. it's random selection so around 10% of danes are picked
OMG IT'S FINALLY A DIFFERENT MAP
I would be proud to be conscripted by Cuba.
