Topic: The German Army Draft Policy Posted: 12-Apr-2007 at 16:59 |
What is going on with the world today?
German Army Drafts 4-Week-Old Baby
Reuters
BERLIN, April 10 (April 10) - The German army sent a draft notice to a four-week-old baby named Lucio, ordering him to report for duty within the next 10 days, before realising it had blundered.
A spokesman for the army said the notice had been sent erroneously because a clerk typed in the wrong date of birth for the boy from Aubstadt, in southern Germany.
"It was an accident," an army spokesman told Reuters. "Somebody entered the wrong number into a computer. There was no harm done. We realised the error the same day and called up the family to tell them to throw the notice away when it arrived."

Here, Mr. Ponce, you can see, what Homeland security really means. Germans are not those mollycoddles.

If anyone sends me a draft notice I'll be flattered.
But I think I'll tell them I have a previous engagement.

They train like Spartens from early childhood. This is very dangerous for Europe.

Service in the Hellenic army is obligatory for all male Hellen citizens who reach the age of 18.If you do not go,then they call you.If you still do not go,then you are considered a deserter ,thus facing the penalties of the military law.If you are a student,you have the right to postpone your service until you finish your years in University.

I think Albania does also have.
