Of course they are. And Poles as citizens of the EU are free to vote with their feet and live elsewhere in the EU were they will not be compelled to involuntary servitude in a job which they may not be temprementally suited for.
Conscription is an evil practice, and although the anglo-saxon nations have sometimes resorted to it in their darker moments of imminent peril, as a general rule, it has been seen as a gross infringement on individual liberties to force people into the army in PEACETIME of all times...
Temperamentally suited for????? My God! Are you "old Labour" or are you a Lib Dem? And as for running from one EU country to another I thought that arrest warrants issued in one EU country must be honored and enforced in every other EU country.Isn't that correct? And if so couldn't Poland issue an arrest warrant for the return of a Polish citizen who's dodging the draft and demand that the UK...or Germany...or Italy...etc....carry out that warrant?
Or would the EU show contempt for Poland's laws by refusing so to do and,at the same time,demanding the return,from Poland,of some British citizen accused of "inciting racial hatred" (by stating,for example,that I Slam is a violent cult) when there's no such crime in Poland?
Oh,and BTW,any country that sits next to today's Russia and was brutally occupied by Russia for so many years and until so very recently would be absolutely justified to think herself in continuous peril.
Thus,the existence of conscription laws.
