Name the one EU-15 country where its male citizens have to give up one year of their life for military service, cutting them off in their most productive years (during or right after completing their education).
Did you just say Greece?
Do you mean the country where male citizens need to oblige to serve 12 months to train for combat, when other countries can provide the same level of training in one month?
Do you mean the country where one’s skills, education and qualifications don’t really matter as to what position they will serve in,?
Do you mean the country where you need to have connections in government or among high-ranking officials in order to serve your country and still sleep at your bed at home every night?
Do you mean the country that will not allow you to buy off your service time for the salary of a full-time professional soldier, only to allow you to continue with your studies or career?
Do you mean the country that requires that you stop your PhD or your career abroad to serve your country, or they may not let you out of the country when you visit?
No, surely you didn’t mean all that, did you?
