Overview: For teenagers to serve in the military, we all know that they must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for conscription. However, different countries have different conditions for conscription. In some countries, military service is unconditional as long as you reach the age of 18. Recently, then, Germany has begun a new move, which is to increase the number of Wehrmacht troops with a new conscription system.

On May 13, the latest news released by Haike News showed a video of German Defense Minister Pistorius's speech. When I saw the title of this video, I was suddenly amazed. What is the matter with Germany that it is open to the system of military service under the age of 18? Could it be that the number of their defense military is not enough?
When teenagers have not yet reached the age of 18, many of them still have the ability to stand on their own feet, and some of them even can't cook noodles at home, can't wash their own clothes, and take care of themselves. This is something to be doubted by all of us. Wouldn't it be better if they could cultivate their patriotic feelings before the age of 18 and let them have a correct concept in their hearts and a new understanding of the country's army building before they went to military service?
However, Germany also said that it was considering the facts, and did not determine the next step to officially implement it, and also mentioned three plans for the German people to consider.
The first option is to reinstate compulsory military service.
Those who read this may ask, is it possible that Germany did not have a compulsory military service system before? Actually, Germany was on July 1, 12011 at the time. This system has been completely abolished and the system has been changed from compulsory military service to voluntary military service.
The second option is simply to reinstate compulsory military service for men.
There is no need to over-interpret such an item, it is very obvious that since the compulsory military service system has been restored, it means that the compulsory military service system for men will be restored first, and the compulsory military service system for women will not be opened for the time being.
The third option is to avoid compulsory service, but to optimize the existing system.
Avoiding compulsory service, but calling for the optimization of the existing system" implies a request for improvements and adjustments to the military service system to reduce or eliminate the requirement of compulsory service, while better meeting the needs of society and individuals.
This view argues that mandatory service may limit citizens' freedom of choice, especially for those who are unwilling or unfit to engage in military activities. Therefore, it is recommended to find alternative ways of state services by reforming the existing system to allow citizens to participate in other forms of social contribution or public services.
After looking at these three plans, I don't know what you think, I feel that the biggest difference between the first plan and the second plan is that it is limited to a woman, and it is temporarily not open. The third option is a little more user-friendly. Avoid mandatory military service and make certain optimizations, so that everyone will definitely like it.
After the announcement of these three plans, Secretary of Defense Pistorius obviously proposed that he was not interested in the third plan, and directly ruled it out. At the same time, he said, Germany now needs "some form of conscription". Does he mean "some form" of conscription in the first and second ways?
Why is Germany proposing such a conscription system now? Could it be that Germany's Bundeswehr is ageing badly? If they were to enforce military service under the age of 18, would there be more child soldiers? Although the number of these national defense forces has increased, can these child soldiers be able to handle those national defense tasks?
