It should be a duty for men and voluntary for women IMO.

And its not about serving your government but serving your country.

If men have to, so should women. There's nothing special about them.

Also, your country doesn't exist, it's just a cultural convention.


They shouldn due to their lack of needed physical  strenght. They are not build for war, so they should serve only if they feel they want/can. Same goes for men with retardation or any kind of physical disability IMO.

 

And do you really think my country doesnt exist? Wow, really...its right next to yours on the west.

Women can be good soldiers just as men can. There have been somesocieties in the world (I think mostly in Africa) where women were the ones who went to war (or served alongside men) and were just as good, if not better than men at physical combat. It's a geneder sterotype of the west that women are weak and can't fight, a sort of self fulfilling prophecy, because girls are conditioned to dislike physical activities since early childhood over here.

And Serbia is just some land on which some people live on. It's not the sort of living breathing entity you envision. All that matters is the people who live over there, not "the country", which is something no one should ever forget.

Also, you live in Germany now. I'm starting to see why people in the West are so annoyed by immigrants.

I never said there are no good female soldiers at all. Lots of women were in armies and were great shooters ( Soviet Red Army best example). But your averige man is a lot stronger and better build for a war than your averige woman.  And btw, how many women did you hear (or see on TV) going to war in Middle ages or any kind of warfare before fire weapons were introdced in th west???  War was always something men particapated in, only very few woman. You can try to spin that as much as you want, but thats a fact. And thats the way it should stay.

 

And if that land on which people live in gets invaded or attacked than my freedom and life depends on defending that land and its people. Cam you understand that? Of course, you dont, you've never experienced war yourself.

 

Oh, you're starting to realize,huh? How about living here for a while and than say something like that. Germans are annoyed by immigrants ( Turks, Iraqis and Kurds, to be more accurate, actually) because of whole other reasons, not their views on military.
