You should learn more about the Danes and their military. 16 weeks paid work, worker's union, and helping the community. But in 2014 99.1% of the lowly 4,200 spots were filled by volunteers, so good luck actually enjoying that summer camp. Straight to a full-time job or study instead :( Needless to say, this is why you've never heard of a Dane going abroad to escape service lol

This ain't yo momma's US military.
