It takes some masochism to enjoy army service

Majority of Poles = womens and older guys. But not the ones that would be obligated to serve.

Right one is wrong
“I am for somebody ELSE dying for this country”.
That is problem with military service – not those who serve are asked about it.

Majority of Poles (that would not be the subject of compulsory military service), I assume?
Backlash5 on
why don’t they all volunteer if they like it so much. That ought to solve the problem :))

Then they can reinstate it for themselves.

I’d be for a vote on compulsory military service IF the only people that can vote would be males in fighting age that would be called up.

The majority of these are people not in danger of getting conscripted. Typical, really.

“The majority” is women and old people.
They can go die for this country, i wont

My country did absolutely nothing for me during my 43 years lifetime and I wouldnt do nothing for it in exchange. I was running small company my entire mature life and we are treated like shit here so. Our constitution says that every Polish citizen is obliged to defend the country so I assume that women arent citizens cause they arent obliged.

No, women want it because it doesn’t concern them…

“*majority of Poles* want to reinstate compulsory military service” = Poles who will not be called up for military service
Priority in joining the army should be given to people who actively lobby for compulsory military service.
I am in my thirties and (most likely) this will not apply to me, but I remember when I was 19, I had better things to do than run around in circles and dig trenches because some bald drill sergeant told me to run around in circles and dig trenches.
I pay quite high taxes so that professional soldiers can defend me.

In XXI century, wars are won by professional armies, not waves of barely trained cannon fodder.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Equality for men and women, right?

Unless Dominika Kulczyk is sent to the very frontlines with a rifle in her hand I’m not willing to fight. They’ve got billions and lands worth protecting. I’ve got nothing.

The majority is older people, women, and people AFTER military service. Most young people – those affected by that decision do not want it. While I love my country and I believe I am a patriot I WILL NOT die for idiots using their power for their own goals. Poland will NEVER die as long as we have ourselves and we showed that tens of times, with the longest one lasting 123 years! Polska gurom!

Honestly, when I hear about this kind of support for bringing back compulsory service, I get a mix of feelings. On one hand, I get that people want to feel safer in these unsettled times. A lot of folks carry a simple, human worry about the future and that’s completely normal. On the other hand, I know how different people’s situations can be and how differently everyone reacts to the idea of the military. I get the sense that many people are just looking for a bit of stability and some kind of plan for rough times. Even if I’m not sure where I personally stand, I can see where it all comes from. What matters is that we can talk about it calmly, without scaring each other and without judging anyone’s fears or beliefs.

The majority are usually ones that won’t be serving.

One thing that I find absurd is that women are mostly not considered. It should be absolutely equal if it’s introduced, with no exceptions: even pensioners have a role to play in war.
I wonder how supportive most people would be then. The truth about conscription is that it’s 90% bullshit designed to fill time, and very little of it is useful in ordinary civilian life.

As a pole in the military
stop spreading this bullshit nobody wants that except for people that wont fight
trzepet on
The best part is that all the rightwing patriots (leadership) already declared they will not serve and all their suporting channels grind away excuses and ways to run away (prepare) or legally outsmart not to serve.
Super-Nuntendo on
If the majority want military service, why does it need to be compulsory?
(Of course I know the answer to this, as a large amount of these people know they will be safe from being forces to fight)
A bit like saying “I’m all for tax rises, as long as someone else is paying it and not me”
