Bjørg Hjorth Nørgaard, 19, has not finished high school yet but has already enlisted to pay a duty to her country.
The young woman has volunteered for Denmark's four-month military training camp before university, fully aware that war has returned to Europe.
"It's a personal journey … I have signed up at my own free will," she said.
"It's no longer an argument that men fight wars, women do it as well now."
Young men in the country have for a long time been conscripted based on a lottery system.
If your number is called, it is compulsory to attend four months of basic military training, although others are welcome to join voluntarily, including women.
But Denmark's government is planning to make it gender-neutral, meaning 18-year-old women will be in the lottery too.
The time commitment for conscripts will also increase to 11 months so trainees can learn more combat skills.
"It has a more serious note now … and there's this more serious aspect of war in Europe that has an effect on all of us," Bjørg said.

“The Poles and the Ukrainians are protecting Western Europe from the Russians.”
Well I, for one, feel like Europe is safe now that Ukraine is nearly defeated, and Warsaw is banning crosses, while mandating pronouns. /s

Even at that point, they're not going to attack Poland.
So the Euroweenies are safe. For now.
Relevant. Although, Putin just got rid of his Defense Minister.
And Ursula von der Leyen (the one on the right), is now the President of the European Commission.
Are any of the people in that old photo still in those jobs?
Not a single one of those people in the photo still hold that job.
Bjørn Arild Gram is the current Minister of Defence of Norway.
Pål Jonson, Sweden’s minister of defence.
Minister of Defence, Boris Pistorius for Germany.
Kajsa Ollongren for the Netherlands.
Andrey Belousov for Russia.
Yeah but they're still weak in NATO. The Americans run the show.
They came to their senses and canned the girlbosses?
Not sure what that meant but when a meme is so out of date that 100% of it is wrong, then it is time to quit using it to show people who currently holds those offices.
One of us would have to look into it to learn about the elections and new administrations etc., but there has been a great military awakening in NATO and all of Europe since Russia launched their invasion.
So? The point remains the same. Europe is weak.
Weak compared to what?
More importantly just say that Europe is weak or post a source if you believe that, don’t post fake memes.
