In all probability, Sweden and Finland will join NATO and become the last (and long expected) European members joining the organization.
But those two are strong members with a military culture like we haven't seen since 20 years. Their citizens are still drafted (Fins and Swedes) and hence are more about to voice their opinion on military matters than most other countries in the alliance.
How this could affect others NATO members that have for long reclined to the easier way of doing things, with professionals armies, should be a matter of curiosity for all, civilians and members of the military?
Let's discuss it gently.

IMOHO it is necessary to reinvent conscription, on a more bearable way for youth: irrelevant to gender for example, matters free (you enlist to drive a tank, a supply truck, help handling retiree or grow bee hives...) without blocking their time for a couple of years and in all respect of their belief or identity etc...
