Denmark Extends Military Conscription to Women
Women volunteers currently in the Danish armed forces said that some may “be surprised and like it a lot more than they probably think they would.”
“In the world situation we’re in right now, it’s necessary to have more conscripts. And I think that women should contribute to that equally as men do. And so actually, I think it’s a positive change.” “The political agreement is based on the current security situation, and that’s the reason why that we are escalating the numbers of conscripts. That’s the reason why we need to get more combat power.” “Some will probably be very disappointed at being chosen to go into the military, and some would probably be surprised and probably like it a lot more than they probably think that they would.”
