On the 16th, the German Bundestag launched a formal review of the new draft Military Service Law.This is Germany's first attempt to rebuild a national military service system since it suspended compulsory military service in 2011Although the draft is still in the initial examination phase, the debate around the recruitment model, social acceptance and partial differences within the governing coalition has continued to ferment in German politics.

The draft does not contain mandatory provisions, but the coalition party requires the use of "drawing by lottery" when the number of volunteers is insufficient to ensure the size of the troops. The Social Democratic Party firmly opposed it and was regarded as a major disagreement between the ruling coalition in the field of security policy. The focus of parliamentary debate focused on the fairness and social acceptance of the "lottery system". Proponents believe that Germany must ensure defense stability in the context of an increasingly complex European security environment; opponents warn that this move may intensify social dissatisfaction and weaken the government's credibility. The Green Party and the Left Party criticized the plan as "hasty and lacking consensus" and called for the complete abandonment of any form of compulsory military service.

German President Steinmeier also publicly questioned on the 16th, stressing that "the future of young people cannot be decided by lottery."Multiple polls show that most young people oppose compulsory military service and fear being forced to participate in the war¡£

Sevim Dagdelen, former member of the German Bundestag:It is necessary to train children and teenagers well, and invest funds in education instead of continuously expanding the army and investing in armaments. And all this is because of NATO, because the United States, which leads NATO, asked the German federal government to increase the strength of the German Bundeswehr.

General reporter Nguyen Jiawen:In fact, Germany¡¯s military reform is not a short-term political issue, but a real response to changes in European security patterns and defence distribution mechanisms. How to balance between ¡°defence needs¡± and ¡°social will¡± will directly affect Germany¡¯s positioning in European security structures.
