Man it feels like this article could have been written about the United States itself.
The conscription stuff is kind of unique except that multiple countries in NATO also use conscription so 🤷
This feels like it's straight up came from an article about the United States military:
For idealistic youth once drawn by patriotic fervour, the realization is sobering: they are entering not a dignified profession, but an institution hollowed out by greed and favouritism.
Veterans’ post-service struggles only deepen the discontent. Many return to civilian life underemployed, disillusioned, and ignored.
Aren't these also major major problems in European militaries?
Propaganda is propaganda regardless of the fallacies being engaged 🤷
Furthermore just because an argument utilizes a logical fallacy does not invalidate the argument since in context fallacies can be appropriate to use.
It's also entirely fair to make comparisons to the United States and note that the United States and many of their NATO allies also have these problems.
