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.

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?
