Sweden is to reinstate formal civil duty that will see people conscripted into municipal rescue services in time of war.

According to news site SVT on Monday, January 9 the announcement was made by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M), Defence Minister Pål Jonson (M) and Minister of Civil Defence Carl-Oskar Bohlin (M) at a press conference entitled People and Defence in Sälen.

Kristersson said: “We are going back to a situation where we have a formalised civil duty,” which according to Bohlin is the first step in preparing people with rescue service expertise.

He said: “We don’t know exactly how many people might be covered by the obligation. We see that the municipal rescue service today is not dimensioned for the requirements of heightened preparedness and ultimately an armed attack.

Swedes get to fight Russia, and the migrants get to stay back and re-populate the country.

Will this service obligation include the insane Muslims whom Sweden stupidly let in?
Just asking for a friend.

I suggest they conscript all the young military aged men in Malmo and have them do minefield clearing.

Don’t be silly, of course not. And forcing them to perform civil duty would be ‘racist’.

Poor Swedes, they’ve feminized themselves into girly-man status. They’d be a pushover in any invasion.

Conscripting male nurses and daycare workers - that’ll show em.

Sweden is even less useful than they were in WWII... but NATO is a corrupted POS anyway so might as well invite every broke-dick 2nd rate Euro nation in.

I wonder if this is about taking Swedes out of the workforce to force employers to hire more invaders who’ve been moved there by the EU.

Sweden last had a war in 1814. This means that at the extreme the last Swedish war vet died around 1910, which also means there is no person alive in Sweden today who lived with a war vet. There have been some Swedes in wars as part of a coalition, but nothing full scale.

I have to agree with you for once...
Sweden is indeed being eaten up from the inside by islamic immigration.
They are operating in gangs now, they use grenades regularly and are highly dangerous.

Actually it has done the opposite. Sweden has known about the Russian threat for 200 years.

For a country of 10 million people, conscription helps.

Nite that Finland has always had conscription.

I assume the Muslim invaders are exempt and free to continue their conquest of Sweden while native Swedes are sent to feed the canons.
