the only men capable of serving in the German military are those rich bastards earning over 30k per year. They're already barely paying taxes and are living a life in ease and opulence
What is interesting to me is that patriotism is a very new idea. It wasn't around globally as a concept for much of our history. Most of the people weren't patriots. Don't feel bad about yourself when you're not one.
He ain't wrong, the fricking conecept of nationalism and therefore patriotism IS FRICKING fairly new. But similar concepts like allegiance to religion predates it and is fricking similar in function.
All the comments about how pacifist Germany is because of WWII is completely ahistorical. They had a massive army and mandatory conscription pre-unification.
if your country hasn't had a fight in generations then your people kinda forget how to do war. This is part of why the US tries to always keep a conflict going somewhere in the world at all times.

Weird. I remember they imported over a million young, military aged men. Why don't they draft them?
