#1 I'd call it a "Chutzpah", but - since Estonians used WWII to kill of their Jews (some before the Germans arrived, and some after Russians returned) - I doubt Kaja will understand.

#5 With dropping birthrates, more kids out of shape from sitting around playing games and eating junk and a general sense of being introverted from the newest generations... I can see all western nations bringing back a limited conscription to keep their military numbers up.

#6 I can't think of a more certain way for politicians to lose an election than to reintroduce the draft, especially for purposes of waging wars of aggression in parts of the world where we do not belong.

#9 Calling for another country to institute conscription in order to be ready to fight for you.
I'm thinking you might be planning to bomb the wrong targets.

I see the demand for 'social justice' and make up for hundreds of years of institutional sexism, draft women!
