Default Sweden brings back the draft

Too few voluntary soldiers, too few qualified ones - Sweden has decided to go back to the conscription model, which will be a mandatory draft for all generations born from 1999 on. Men and women will be draftet.

http://www.government.se/press-relea...ficial-report/

Technically it makes sense, if you have not enough volunteers. Morally however a state having the power to command citizens and force them into war service like any subordinate or slaves, is a highly questionable thing, from a libertarian point of view.

I have no solution for this conflict to offer. Its one of the dilemmata of life.

I also wonder what they will do with the many Muslim young women whose families will go crazy over the idea. Sweden as a very huge Muslim influx, and already now plenty of problems with it. Will special rights be granted? Double standards practised?

Sweden will probably pay them to join ISIS instead.

That or import Slovenes.
Half the aplicants that are fit for the army are turned down every year because there are no open spots.
They should be given a chance to re-aply with Sweden
