“The form will be mandatory for men and voluntary for women.”
This is highly misandrist. I can’t believe that we are in 2025 and a - so called - democratic government is still denying women the opportunity to potentially go and die miserably in the front lines on equal footing with men.
We can surely do better. Women and girls deserve more.
/s surely? Women stay behind or the population would face higher risk of collapse in heavy casualties otherwise.
Including women in this does have the additional hurdle that a constitutional amendment would be needed, which is less likely to pass, regardless of the merits.
