Brainless serving in an army is not defense. People can defend themself better when they are free not when they are forced to obey corrupted rulers orders.

The step from "Denmark" to "Corrupted rulers" went a bit fast there.

You are aware that Denmark allows political parties and movements to oppose conscription, and that anyone strongly opposed can emigrate and denounce their Danish citizenship? Nobody is preventing anyone from doing those things. If you don't do them, you are implicitly accepting the social contract in the country.

Yeah 17 years old about to be conscripted can just leave the country if they don't like it, fuck them.
