        I’m not sure if Denmark is one of those but for some states there’s unfortunately little choice. Not like we in Finland want to be next to Russia. But only men having to serve is an obvious equality issue.

          But don’t you think only women being the only ones in charge of giving birth to the next generation is an obvious equality issue, too?

              Sounds like something a crazy dictator would do.

              Everyone will now be able to have children for the glorious motherland

                What a softie. A real dictator would say something like

                Everyone is now required to give birth for the glorious motherland, and those that refuse will be shot as traitors.

        Slave to the state

        The best way to become a slave to a state is not to have a good defense. Just ask any neighbor af Russia.

          Brainless serving in an army is not defense. People can defend themself better when they are free not when they are forced to obey corrupted rulers orders.

            The step from “Denmark” to “Corrupted rulers” went a bit fast there.

            You are aware that Denmark allows political parties and movements to oppose conscription, and that anyone strongly opposed can emigrate and denounce their Danish citizenship? Nobody is preventing anyone from doing those things. If you don’t do them, you are implicitly accepting the social contract in the country.

              Yeah 17 years old about to be conscripted can just leave the country if they don’t like it, fuck them.
