Compulsory Military Service: Benefits & Drawbacks - Ultra Short Edition

In this video I talk with Alexander Schäbler (Afghanistan Veteran & German Officer) about the benefits and drawbacks of compulsory military service for the individual, society and the state. We also look at the human rights justification, as well, as the German and Austrian legal situation as well.
