keep current system, ultra-orthodox and arabs should no be requried to serve, everyone else should provide a year at 18, but focus on military trainng as well as education and skill devlopment
@9KGV6YV2mos2MO
If one does not want to participate in military service, there should be other options: community service, ecological service, public journalism and the arts, education, policing, ambulance corps, social work, etc.
@9JLCRR73mos3MO
yes, until there isnt a peace treaty with palestine, keep status quo, everyone serves when 18 except for arabs and yeshiva students
@9J3G9MV3mos3MO
No, as many people would be more helpful than in the army for the nation. 2 years of community service should be a option for who wants. Most of Israelis understand why the army exists and why they need to serve in order to guard the country from its enemies.
@9DCJTSD8mos8MO
Generally citizens should have to perform some form of service, but it shouldn't have to necessarily be military; it should be able to be some other form of service. Exceptions should be made for some Yeshivah students, and some other people seeking higher education
@8RS94723yrs3Y
at least two years of national service, not necessarily military

Germany has unveiled the most sweeping military reforms since the cold war, including the possible revival of national service, as part of efforts to better prepare its armed forces to defend Nato territory.Speaking in Berlin on Thursday on the military alliance’s 75th anniversary, defence minister Boris Pistorius said he had signed an order to reorganise the German military from top to bottom.“It is a landmark reform . . . Our goal is to restructure the Bundeswehr in such a way that it is best positioned in the event of defence, in the event of war,” said Pistorius. “Nobody should have the idea of attacking Nato territory — this is what we [want to] convey.”The measures are part of a huge shift in Germany’s attitude towards its armed forces, reflecting what Chancellor Olaf Scholz said was a Zeitenwende or turning point in security policy after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago.A single operational command will take charge of four new component forces, with cyber warfare raised to an equal footing alongside land, air and sea operations.Military officials drawing up the plans have been given six months to implement them. A key demand from the ministry is that the Bundeswehr will be made ready for compulsory national service in Germany, Pistorius said, should a decision be taken to reintroduce it. The country stopped its mandatory military service — as well as the option to serve in non-military institutions — in 2011.A defence ministry proposal on a model of national service for young adults will be put before German politicians in the coming weeks, he added.
