Usually HN is very wary of the consequences of the state collecting data about its citizens and restricting freedoms in small steps. Is it not the case now?

- mystraline 11mo agoNo, to a bunch of neoliberal elite politicians, women aren't equal. And those same politicians won't ever serve, nor compulsed to serve, and/or will shield their families from serving unless they really want to. But let's call it what it is: compulsed military service is slavery for the elite.

- Balgair 11mo agoActually you make a good point here. Women have better reaction times then men, so female drone operators, all else being equal, may be better at the job.

- platevoltage 11mo agoThe hand to hand combat, super common in modern warfare, should probably be left up to the men. Great point.
- c0balt 11mo agoto add to this, under German law they very much are different in regards to mandatory military service. Neither the old nor the new laws contain mandatory military service for women leading to mandatory conscription being only an issue for men.
- fabian2k 11mo agoMandatory military service existed before in Germany, not all that long ago. So this is mostly returned to the same mechanisms as back then, though with the actual service being voluntary for now. And to include woman you'd have to change the constitution, as that part is specific to men.
