A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

Yes your understanding is correct, and the way it is now the military is filled with volunteers alone so between 0 and 10 get "forced in"

that would be pretty crazy, though, right?

it's alllllmost full of volunteers, but like a handful of people -- like 10 people -- might still be forced to serve or do conscientious objector stuff?

wow, would be pretty annoying to be one of those unlucky 10?!

I haven’t actually met anyone who hated it AFTER it was over, thesay they got to chill doing something simple for a few months and that it wasn’t an awful way to spend part of a gap year.

Same with conscientious objectors who are(were?) asked instead to do something non-military for the 4 months. I think one guy worked in a kindergarten.

The few who went in for longer and took the leadership path really loved it and come out the other side with some really nice leadership tools. Our military’s leadership style is very modern and easily transfers to civilian life.

I served against my will. I still did my time but chose something other than the military because I refuse to carry/use weapons. You won't be forced to do that if it conflicts with your personal beliefs. I suppose that can change that option. I'm not sure exactly how it is today.
