Today conscription, tomorrow private healthcare. The Nordic model is cooked.

Fwiw, Norway has had conscription for some 170 years.

We have had conscription in Denmark since the 1800s, so it is far from new. The news being reported here, is that they have extended it to women, and made it a longer commitment (11 months I think, used to be 4-8 months).

Are they expecting to fight in Ukraine or in Greenland?
Do the soldiers get a choice where they want to be stationed at?
