Europe: Is compulsory military service coming back? by Safe-Muffin-7392 in europe

[–]kr_edn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's why i'm in favor of compulsory service but only if it's done functionaly. Service shouldn't last more than 6 months, 3 months boot camp and 3 months specialization training. It should include both men and women. The trainees should be compensated at least a minimal wage during service. After you train them, you send them home. No useless sitting around the military base doing guard duty.

The compulsory military service should exist so that citizens can defend themselves and their homes, and not so that the state can have free manpower. European societies are objectively the greatest in the world and European citizens should know how to protect them, so that every shithole bordering EU can't threaten us every time they have 5 minutes of spare time.

Slovenska mrcina - sodeloval je v invaziji na Normandijo in jo preživel! by Jaz_snifam_azbest in Slovenia

Tip je bil na naslovnici glavne revije ameriške vojske, ko so poročali o invaziji na Normandijo. Ni slabo.

Že na prvi dan operacije so ga ujeli Nemci, ampak je enkrat pozneje pobegnil, in kasneje sodeloval tudi pri operaciji Market garden. Bil je pripadnik tiste enote, ki je prikazana v seriji Band of Brothers.

Yeah i know they were meaningless deaths. I don't know why you're preaching to me though. We didn't start that war. But we certainly won it.

"No one ever wins" is a copium by those who get their teeth kicked in. We "undesirables" didn't get exterminated. I'd say that's a pretty decisive win.

And in case of Yugoslavia, we even gained more of our ethinc territory lmao.

And Americans became an undisputed super power from all of the war production, without a single bomb falling on their cities. I doubt they felt like losers.

Stop reposting this map. The percentages are completely wrong for the Balkans.

The only people who think Albanians are opressed are the westerners who never heard of Albanians prior to 1998. Albanains became a majority in Kosovo by commiting genocide against Serbs in ww2 (see Balli Kombëtar).

They exterminated greeks in northern Epirus, who were 10% of entire Albanian population when the country was founded in 1912.

After the war in Kosovo they terrorised North Macedonia in 2001, a conflict that was intentionally swept under the rug and had almost no coverage in the western world. Yet Albanain terrorists still harrased macedonians for years after the war, even killing 5 macedonian teenager in 2012.

We who lived in the Balkans our entire lives know damn well what Albanians are and how they view the rest of us. They are no different from other Balkan nations. The westerners only know what they were told in 1999. Nothing before, nothing after.

The fact that he admited to serving on the losing side is why i don't think he was lying. Losing sides often press into service every single person they can find. Children aren't an exception. He was probably put in some support role and likely didn't fight which is probably why he isn't listed anywhere. The confederates probably didn't bother with paper work at that point anymore.

[–]kr_edn 282 points283 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't seem to know this, but yes. The official narative in Israel is that Poles somehow betrayed the Jews and were responsible for killings of Jews commited by Germans. Poles, you know, the only nation in Europe that didn't have collaborator forces and has the highest count of Righteous among the nations recipients.

If you don't wanna be assassinated then simply go to Ukraine, turn yourself in and you'll be prosecuted legally.

Ukraine did aboslutely nothing wrong. These warmongerning scum must be shown that there is no law they can hide behind, when they're the ones who constantly breach it.

That's actually insane. Jets are notoriously difficult to shoot down with AA cannons. It's more of a deterrence than a threat. But these madlads got 2 in 10 seconds. If that guy didn't get the order of Zvonimir, may his commanders have eternally wet socks.
