Read your news and am now questioning your conscription plans from the north (the land you call by the name of one of its ancient counties) – what do you think about the conscription revamp still being mandatory exclusively for men?

Over here, I couldn’t imagine this being let slide like this – yes, it’s mandatory for only men here, too, but our system is set so from the far past – more and more women are volunteering every year and if there were a vote, we’d probably have it mandatory for everyone, for the sake of equality.

It shouldn’t be mandatory, unless the state begins massively expanding healthcare and other welfare benefits. Why die for a state that doesn’t properly help you stay alive?
After war females would be necessary to repopulate. We can’t afford to lose possible mothers and childbearers
How about we don’t have conscription at all? Wouldn’t that be nice…

To keep things fair it should be for both, but I’m voting only for men because I don’t want my daughter to get conscripted.
Es neizprotu to fascināciju un gribēšanu sievietes dabūt obligātajā dienastā. Tas ir “ja man jācieš, kapēc viņām nav”? Ja tā, tad diezgan shortsighted viedoklis, jo, ja vatņiki nāk, labāk tranšejā blakus gribi 55kg smagu sievieti, vai čali, ja pilns ekipējums sver, teiksim, 25kg, + bruņu plāksnes 10kg un stroķis +10kg, rupji rēķinot?
Jāatrod līdzsvars ar sievietes mātes institūtu. Šobrīd valsts mērķim būtu jābūt vismaz 2.5 bērni uz sievieti, tātad aptuveni var saprast, cik ilgi sievietes ir atrautas no karjeras attīstības un uzkrājumu veidošanas. Vai pie esošā modeļa būtu taisnīgi vēl sievietes atraut uz OMD laiku?
Imo nobody should be conscripted so the less people we conscript the better.
