I was a citizen soldier thanks to conscription (or "citizens in uniform" as we call them in Germany). Do you respect me?  :)

Of course I do.

I ask no more than to do your duty for your country.

If your country is on my side of The Long War, of course.
Cool, do the 15 months of civil service in a kindergarten for physically and mentally challenged kids I did as a conscientious objector count as well then?

Knowing Siege it will make you worse than a communist gay muslim. :(

Surely you've been on Languish longer than 15 months?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

In Germany you can object to the mandatory military service for conscientious reasons. You need to send in a CV and a letter stating your reasons why you possibly couldn't do a military service. These reasons can be all sorts of things. I bet thou shalt not kill and other matters of faith are regulary used for that. Maybe personal reasons like traumas from being exposed to violence or whatever. I wrote mine the day after watching Stalingrad and even used it as a reason for it as it gave me the pictures to the stories my grandpa used to tell me when I was little. Well that and a few other more personal things like rather doing something meaningful instead of joining the Bundeswehr in 1994 with the biggest threat being a Polish invasion.
This letter goes to a few judges who are then deciding if you are accepted and can do a civil service instead (which is typically longer than the military service, for me it was 15 instead of 12 months.) In case your statements suck too much you'd have to go to a hearing to clarify your statement, with a good possibility to be drafted after all.

Yeah, drop your guard. Do you want a wave of Marti's invading the Fatherland?

They'd want just the same as the Russians, reach Cologne as quick as they can.  :lol:

I weep for Germany.
Ah well, as a nurse I'd be drafted to work in a military hospital anyways. And the biggest threat to national security are retards. Been fighting on that front since 1995.
