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?

A smart person would wait until then, yes. A kid on my team during forsvarets dag refused to take any of the necessary tests and said that he wanted to be a conscientious objector beforehand. The guy in charge of the tests tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn’t listen. Cause of that the guy explained that he would be forced to serve x-amount of time doing public service. I drew number 2 and wasn’t called in, but I volunteered myself after. The likelihood of being forced is very low, but looks like it could change with the proposed reform.

yeah, that doesn't make any sense, given he could have just chosen to do the alternative service if actually forced via lottery?
