20 sats \ 6 replies \ @memeverse 26 May \ on: UK proposes re-introduction of mandatory conscription for 18yo's bitcoin
It seems to be a bit of a trend since even in my country, Italy, a party in the governing majority has proposed the introduction of 6-month conscription for over-age youth.
Considering that it was abolished in 2005 and that the barracks are either disused or have other functions, I wonder how much it would cost-assuming it passes in parliament.
But in campaigning, politicians usually say many things in order to attract attention.
Does seem to be a popular option when right-wing types if iām honest.. is that the case there?

Sadly, this is the case.

In fact, my country has a professional army, well-trained to deal with various situations. The military service of young people I don't find it a great idea; it should be a life choice that you make voluntarily.

Agreed - they were excellent (I am just jealous about them being super stylish compared to me). I really rate their professionalism.
