#2 Rather than drafting their reluctant youth who have been thoroughly indoctrinated against war and nationalism, why not just get rid of the army? Without soldiers and guns for fighting, we can all live in peace and harmony. Wouldn't that be nice?

#3 Raise a large army. March through Poland. Attack Russia. Hmmmm....haven't we seen this before? How did it work out?

The cost of defanging several hundred years of German militarism says - No.

#4 In 1989 the Bundeswehr had 509,000 troops. Never more. Nobody felt threatened by it.

That said, I don't think we need the draft. We need a lean competent professional military acting in concert with other major European nations like France, Poland, U.K., Italy. Nobody will invade Russia. We just want to keep Russia out.

#8 Yeah, because defend diversity will bring millions into the draft offices. Fucking morons.

#9 They instead want iPhone-wielding hipsters who love diversity dying in the trenches.

Those that survive will no longer be what they began as. Though, to be fair, that's anyone whose seen a friend die brutally in front of them. Me included.

I kind of wish there were a 130-year-old Ernst Junger still alive in Germany to write a response article to Tilman Gerwien's. That would be a hoot.

#10 Nobody will invade Russia. We just want to keep Russia out.

That works for me. We don’t want to invade Russia either.

#11 I kinda feel like it's too late for Europe, the frog is already in the pot and the water is heating up. Their leaders are deliberately destroying their cultural identities by dilutions with muslim colonizers.

Given that, I feel like the only way out is likely to be the nightmare fuel that Europe used to be capable of that they lack the spine for now. Things like the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre. Unless there's a second coming of Charles Martel or someone like him to lead the charge against the invaders Europe has invited to pillage them.
