A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

I haven’t actually met anyone who hated it AFTER it was over, thesay they got to chill doing something simple for a few months and that it wasn’t an awful way to spend part of a gap year.

Same with conscientious objectors who are(were?) asked instead to do something non-military for the 4 months. I think one guy worked in a kindergarten.

The few who went in for longer and took the leadership path really loved it and come out the other side with some really nice leadership tools. Our military’s leadership style is very modern and easily transfers to civilian life.
