As Denmark plans to make national service mandatory for young women, some say they are ready to 'send a signal to Russia'

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 leadership back in the day just looked more substantial. Maybe if the current gang started doing their group photos in black and white.

[servo1969]

And that signal is we will provide you free women during wartime.

It would not surprise me if conscription of Ukranian women was really about trafficking them. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

[Does so]

In a drone war, women would be an equal to men...

[Does so]

Begets fewer Muslims in their military.

3. Having both men and women work out of the home was purposefully planned by the socialists to get us to hand over our children to the government and turn both partners into wage earners, which resulted in wages being cut in half.

Yep! Serfdom!

[wny]

Is this the same Denmark that fought off the Germans for 45 minutes before surrendering?

[Ge0ffrey]

This is a good thing? This would be a nail in the coffin of feminism if common sense prevailed.

[MinorityRepublican]

True, women are not meant to be in every military position, but they are qualified for more than support, drone or supply jobs and if they can do the job, they should be able to do them.

If you want units to be combat effective, they should be segregated by gender.

[Bulwyf]

It’s still correct, just in a different way.

[Bulwyf]

There won’t be any combat effectiveness.

English is not her native language

1756-L85E: All Danish children are required to learn English

Am well aware of that fact. But the fact remains that English is not her native language.

English gets its grammatical structure from the Danes.

You realize, of course, that Old English and Old Danish separated roughly a thousand years ago.

Soon to come to America when draft is re-established with the Big War that is coming.Only married and pregnant women will be exempt—watch as the Baby Boom hits! You come a long way baby! Now your so equal you can get to be shot!

[moovova]

I don’t know. I searched on “Danish women” and found her...along with more skimpily dressed Danish women. I chose “modest” over flashy...not my usual route...LOL.

[nwrep]

Then I rest my case. Google gives more weight to biracial images.

[Reverend Wright]

Despite the video they show you, this is not a drone war.

Eighty percent of casualties in this war is from artillery. Similar to WW1, WW2, Korea. etc.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So when do you start your war “personal journey?”

You seem to be looking forward to it.

[Candor7]

I just can’t get used to the idea of women in combat.

But I suppose they can be part of the butcher’s bill as well as anyone.
