For countries that still have it I find this really unsettling too, especially in otherwise developed western democracies.
I know in several the female (or woman-identifying) populace are often given a set of options for “equivalent” service in other roles like healthcare but it still bugs me due to the expected service and potential mortality risk difference. It doesn’t strike me as very equal at all.
Finland also applied for NATO membership in 2022.  I wonder what happened to cause all this, Vladimir?  What a maroon. >

I don’t he is a maroon. He looks more like a pale orange. >

It's a Bugs Bunny reference from years ago. >

Lol thanks for the reference. Didn’t know that one. >

He once called Elmer Fudd a Nimrod, implying sarcastically that Fudd was a "great" hunter.  People didn't get the sarcasm, and for 50 years have used nimrod as an insult meaning idiot, changing its meaning. >

Holy shit I never thought about that >

If you wanna feel really silly, maroon was just Bugs Bunny mispronouncing the word moron >

Come on Finland make it gender neutral like Sweden did already. I'm from Estonia and our politicians copy everything from you guys and girls so if you do we would have to as well. >

Gender neutral would be ideal but Swedens system would not. We still need most to enlist while in Sweden only some are enlisted. Hopefully we can implement gender neutral universal conscription soon. Majority of the people don't yet support it though. >

You don’t mess with Finnish women. >

I've heard they were Russian to recruiters. It's well known that Finland doesn't start wars, they Finnish them. >

We need to Sweden the deal and Finnish their NATO approval. >

There's Norway they get attacked before Denmark it in. >

I find it odd that military service is mandatory for men but not women.
