At age 20 every capable male citizen is expected to undergo 1 year of military training

In Denmark we have værnepligt, which is mandotory but because so many volunteer, it reduces the need for forced conscription.

I was one of 19 people forced to serve out the mandatory constribution. It honestly a good descision and I needed the extra money, you get for the four month long service, which can be extended.

I learned to shoot, rode a tank with supervision and helped guard the danish border during the refugee crisis. I met one of my distant uncles who I helped translate for as he was with a group of Syrians. Intersting times and I learned a lot. Wouldn't mind serving again one day.

Nice, here it like eritrea 2.0 where refusing service is akin to treason, you serve a 2 month jjail sentence and pay a hefty fine. Can you choose your military wing over there or is it predeterminned for you?

Damn, really? You just have to show up to a test one day and you're free to go, is finland that real? :wtf:

Here you can choose your own military wing, but the one I choose to extend my training in was the non-military hjemmeværnet, which I did for two months. Those guys worked my black ass tired :whew:

Go back to your mountain, you fjeld-abe, we don't take kindly to your kind in these woods :ufdup:

If it was swedish you'd have to chop of your tongue and do with a potato in the mouth. Garbage language for garbage people :umad:

Personally I dont understand the people who refuse. You learn a lot of skills and you can transfer the experience into your resume
