The minister also called for developing a "relaxed" relationship between school students and the armed forces. She suggested that military officers visit schools to explain what "the Bundeswehr does for our security."

Isn't it funny that this: "Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war," she said. Became this: "Schools should prep students for war, German minister says"

And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.

The context is that the defense minister said Germany must be "fit for war". That's not clickbait by DW, that's actually what anyone following the news would take away from this. They're just emphasizing the most important part.

If you're talking about what schools teach students and you throw in the word "war" in the middle of your list, you should expect people to jump on it.

It's not clickbait at all. Everyone knows that we should teach students to handle bad situations, and that we should have disaster preparation plans. Remarking on that isn't surprising at all.

It's also extra shocking to mention wars when you're talking about Western Europe, where many of those countries have nuclear weapons, so there's really not an obvious candidate for who they could feasibly fight. So then why try to teach kids about how to fight in wars? There are many answers, and I think the two most obvious ones are patriotic agendas and a desire for increased government spending.

LMAO, it's called indoctrination, what's that bullshit of "prep students for war"?

Germany never underwent denazification.
