What are the air conditions in the changing rooms?

Since the beginning of the Ukraine War, it has been a good thing among politicians, journalists and other public and half public figures to make a record of the fact that they would not refuse military service today and that they also talk to the reintroduction of the same. Recently, Joschka Fischer, former Federal Minister of the External and known for his committed peace missions in the ruins of Yugoslavia and Afghanistan, did this.
It is reasonably strange to the author of these lines to wish themselves or others in such a disgusting situation. Twelve years of school physical education and the memory of the air conditions in the associated changing rooms have taught him what it means to have to linger in too confined space with sweaty youngsters with excess testosterone. It is also a question of self -respect.
However, since one currently suspects in Ollen Europe that “America First!” Not only slogan but actually a program, you want to be resistant again as soon as possible. High armor will not be enough; You will also have to be prepared for forced services. We are still talking about the fortress Europe, soon the barracks are threatened by the barracks.
In fact, compulsory military service only had one advantage: the sublime feeling of giving an official way to understand that you will not participate in the war games. In childhood you only learn to eat with cutlery, and soon to tie your shoes yourself; A few years later, the refusal to do the military service follows. Anyone who has not understood is not ready for civilized cooperation.
