Germany Targets Teens for Military Service
Update: 2026-01-01
Description
Germanys Military Preparations: Targeting Teenage BoysGermany is stepping up its military preparations, focusing on teenage boys. Starting this week, every eighteen-year-old male must legally complete a fourteen-question survey from the army. This is part of a new scheme due to fears of a major conflict in Europe. The survey is detailed, asking about willingness to serve, availability, and physical fitness. Ignoring it or follow-ups can result in fines up to one thousand euros. While not full conscription, critics argue its more like sneaky recruitment. From January, about fifty-four thousand surveys will be sent out each month, with all eighteen-year-old males required to attend a military medical exam by July 2027. These steps, approved in response to Russias invasion of Ukraine and NATO concerns, indicate Germanys quiet readiness for the next big fight.
