  • I don’t think infrastructure would be the limiting factor. Looks like Germany is 20k short of their target.

    Denmark, for instance, still has compulsory service. However, it is only enacted if they have fewer volunteers than their target, and will only compel participation up to the limit. Denmark has not needed to compel anyone to join in quite a long time, fortunately.

    That said, under a similar model, Germany would only need to add 20,000. Likely less per year depending on the commitment term. Eg 10k/year if they are conscripted for 2 years. Also assuming that volunteer attrition and signups offset each other.

    the bigger issue is about the moral justification of forcing someone into military service in the 21st century.
