I would like to complain over the changes made by some of the Wikinewsies here, the Helsingin Sanomat is a well respected newspaper with levels of editorship to rival The Times and Die Welt. Please note in Finland there is a limited amount of English-language press with only the Helsingin Sanomat International Edition and YLE News in English the only sources available.159753 21:41, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
"Finland has a policy of neutrality, with a requirement of conscription for all men between the ages of 18-30 for 90 days."
No, it is at least 180 days. Other choices are 270 and 362 days.
"Community Service" is 395 days and "service without guns" 330 days. There may also be other exceptions.
