Jimmy C asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 5 years ago

Would this solve the migrant problem in Europe?

Many countries in Europe until fairly recently had national military service requiring all young men to serve for a period of time to become trained soldiers ready to fight for their country. Germany, where a lot of migrants are heading, only abolished this in 2011.

Wouldn't it be interesting to reinstate military service, especially for all young single migrant men, and ship them off to Syria and other parts of the MIddle East to fight for British, German and European interests there?

That would be rather ironic at least.

Update:

By the way, please don't take this question too seriously. I just think it would be amusing.

    No, that would not be a good idea. A better idea would be to ship them off to Antarctica. There is still a wide open space that is still unclaimed by any countries, so those people can claim and live on. I heard it is nice there in the summer, and I would like to visit that place one day.

    Having the military be predominantly foreign born Muslims cannot be conducive to national security.
