Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Sweden
reintroduces conscription as tensions rise over Russia
Conscription,
draft or compulsory military service. Whichever the way you call, it is
mandatory for any man or woman of the country who was born in certain years to serve
in military once they are called in. Though the length or field of the service
vary depending on the suitability of the individual, the time spend in military
significantly affects the person’s life at least for a few years. And Sweden
has decided to bring back this once suspended system from next year.
Why has this peaceful
Scandinavian country, which has been maintaining an official policy of neutrality
in foreign affairs for over a century, decided to strengthen its military forces?
Enjoy reading
and learning what the security situation is like in northern Europe.
