      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.

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