In *theory* conscription teaches young men the values and virtues of (self-)discipline, teamwork, loyalty, duty, and instills within them pride and self-confidence.

In *reality* conscription usually means having a whole bunch of whiny teens complain and bitch and doing useless shit like marching and cleaning duties for a year or so while their sergeants edge closer to alcoholic depression.

Not the Bundeswehr itself, just the draft.

The official reason was that the task of our army had changed over the last years and it's not about defending Germany anymore but about carrying out peace-missions, for which you need specially trained soldiers and not draft grunts.

Unofficial ones are probably budget cuts and them trying to give the economy a slight push by providing it with twice the amount of new workers for one year.

So, essentially some asshat politician thought it was a good idea to abolish the firefighters because there is no fire right now.

Actually reality proves the opposite.
Most of the time people in Professional armies are scum of society who didn't get anything else done in their life so they enlisted. Conscription on the other hand gives the army the whole population to work with, so it can pick and choose the best people of the generation for the most important jobs,and dump the scum to nonimportant roles like dragging phone cables in the forest.

Here conscripts are used for slave labour (if they don't bitch enough to be exempt from everything) and many don't even fire a gun once. They only exist to clean barracks.

It's labor. Being in the military is a job. If you have to be in the military because your government compels you to on pain of imprisonment and fines, that's forced labor.

There are plenty of competent people in volunteer armies, and there are plenty of idiots. This exists in every military, volunteer or conscript. The view in countries who actually believe in freedom, instead of being pseudo-Soviet shitholes, is that the army doesn't get to take the very best of the generation and put them to work wherever it wants. It only gets to take those who willingly join, and aren't threatened into the job.

It's one of citizens' obligations. In exchange for legal protection, protection from foreign invasions etc. Public services. And you don't need to go in the military, you can do civil service instead(work duty during crisis)

Sure. We believe in freedom too but we also believe in the Finnish nation and our right to remain free as a collective, not only as individuals. Conscription is a fair exhange to ensure that the legal authorities, our justice system and the legislation branch wont be forcefully toppled by an outside force.

Conscription is outdated. Conscripts fight more poorly than volunteers and generally require more training expenditure for less actual use due to the times of training periods and actual service.

It would be unethical for a country constantly at war to practice conscription.

Not to mention that because of the circumstances that lead people here to enlist, and the poverty wages of the grunt positions, it's basically funneling what could otherwise be underprivileged, superfluous populations into the military. A conservative would say that works well for all of us.

UK doesn't have conscription. We have the strongest military in Europe. I'm ex infantry and would die for my country. I served for nine years.
The general opinion in the army was that conscription is forced on someone, rather than a conscious choice. So it produces less competent soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines. Motivation is vital.

I think 1-2 years of mandatory service are good for instilling values in the weak, but at the same time it diminshes the potential / early days of the successful (though, if done nationally, all people are on the same scale, so starting later isn't THAT bad).

Basically i think it it should be for NEETs, if you do well enough in school, and don't need the Army to instill good values in you, you shouldn't be forced into it.

we kinda still have mandatory military service (population voted against making it equal to civil service again just a few years ago) and it's certainly an interesting experience (military at its worst is an entirely different world from civilian life). But service in our army won't transform anybody into some kind of super-human or will be a permanently life-changing experience, that is just a meme. If you were an uninspired and unproductive NEET before, you will be afterwards. Except if you choose to take a carreer in the army and do it as your job.

I doubt our army is much more than a bad joke, which is a widely held belief among the vast majority of people who actually did service in the militia system (i.e. non-professionals), no matter the rank. But it's fine, it's not like there's any realistic chance of our country ever having an actual armed conflict.

Conscription would be a PR nightmare in the States. We're especially casualty-averse after Vietnam, and every conscript death would be reported in the press as another instance of Americans dying to fight another pointless overseas war that they didn't sign up for. With a volunteer military we can always fall back on the excuse that "They knew what they were getting into." This doesn't work with conscription.

Add to that the morale problems. Professional soldiers have more training and the military is a viable career path for many. Conscripts are just there until it's their time to head back. As such professionals have greater elan than conscript armies because everyone chose to be there. Esprit de corps counts for a hell of a lot.

Also, all the "It turns boys into men" is bullshit. That's what your father is for.

Finland doesn't have an "army", we have defense forces. You can't be made to fight wars outside Finland.

I'd say national service contributes to it though. It certainly goes towards creating a sort of community spirit, and even helps in integrating immigrants, as long as they do actually serve (which is not necessarily the case, I do know foreign-backgrounded guys who have shirked their responsibility).

As for those leftists, I fear their numbers will grow in the future, but national service is definitely a bulwark against their expansion. I dread to imagine what the situation would be without it.

Iraq also has that classic Arab chain of command i.e. generals > everyone else. They are also completely split along ethnic/sectarian lines, meaning a Kurd will not fight for an Arab, a Sunni will not fight for a Shia. This is related to the fact that they don't have a history as a unified people, community spirit stops at the village border. Add to that that the present-day Iraqi Armed Forces have NO history of real conflict (no the insurgency doesn't count), so they simply don't know how to deal with it, either at the command or individual soldier level.

Conscription is retarded and every country worth a damn has gotten rid of it.

You are paying children to do almost nothing of value when they could be working or in education.

Some people claim it makes people more mature, but I've met several people in the armed forces from all over the world and all of them seemed stupid and incredibly immature.

They're not developing real discipline or responsibility AKA the ability to pay rent on time, to work on a project when you could be having fun, or how to resolve conflicts peacefully.

They're being trained like dogs to do menial bullshit. Great you can kick my ass, now try and do this data entry for minimum wage you scum.
