(1,832 posts)discussion, but this bullshit brought me back. I am sure you will display your usual tactic when confronted with being wrong, you will weasel your way out of it claiming you meant something else. I don't know what is worse, your bullshit or the bullshit propagated by the OP of this thread who is far more than they claim.
The German Landwehr is ALL VOLUNTARY On 15 November 2010, the German government voted in favour of suspending universal conscription with the aim of establishing a professional army by 1 July 2011. The last conscripts were drafted on 1 January 2011
Belgium's military is ALL VOLUNTARY Belgium suspended conscription on 31 December 1992 by amending the 1962 Law on Conscription, which became applicable only to conscripts drafted in 1993 and earlier. In practice this meant that the law no longer applied to those born in 1975 and later. Since 1 March 1995 the Belgian armed forces consist of professional volunteers only.
France's military is ALL VOLUNTARY France suspended peacetime military conscription in 1996, while those born before 1979 had to complete their service;[24] since the Algerian War (195462), conscripts had not been deployed abroad or in war zones, except those volunteering for such deployments.

What do you fucking know......the countries committed to freedom and democracy with the exception of Finland have majority volunteer military's. What do you fucking know..........I await the forthcoming moving of the goalposts by both of you. You pathologically cannot admit you were wrong. So here I wait.
