I used to be a huge proponent of getting rid of conscription in Germany. Turned out that conscripts, being by definition from all walks of life and political backgrounds, offset the right wing problem a lot. But yes, we need to get a grip on that. I wouldn't worry abut the additional money, so. After all we spend 20+ million on the restauration of a sailing ship. A new one goes for around 4 to 5. Maybe we burn that money on a carrier? Forgetting the aircraft?
