Conscription was introduced in Germany in 1956 with men over 18 expected to serve in the army for a year, though they could claim exemption due to moral objections.
The practice was gradually wound down and finally scrapped in 2011 as part of moves to save money, and in line with Germany's traditionally cautious approach to defence as a result of its post-war guilt.
我要爆料德國朋友就申請豁免當兵變成社區服務，因為他覺得當兵無意義，而且德軍形象不好
我覺得德國人很喜歡省錢，不意外。由於二戰後的罪惡感不投入防衛，我覺得這個是詭辯，雖然一部分原因是(優越感的)法國總是擔心德國有軍力又想稱霸歐洲~
