Why are European armies struggling to recruit soldiers?

European countries' efforts to strengthen their armies in the face of the increased threat from Russia have clashed against young Europeans'

European countries' efforts to strengthen their armies in the face of the increased threat from Russia have clashed against young Europeans' unwillingness to join the armed forces. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed European countries to increase their military spending and strengthen their defence, as they scramble to reverse the shrinking of their armies that has occurred over the past decade or so. But their efforts have met a huge challenge: a lack of recruits willing to join their military forces. Despite new investment and a recent recruitment push, Germany recently announced that its troop numbers fell slightly last year. The country’s defence ministry said earlier this month that its army - the Bundeswehr - shrank by about 1,500 troops in 2023, for a total of around 181,500 men and women by the end of the year. The Bundeswehr’s plan is to increase its ranks to 203,000 troops by 2031. The UK also recently admitted it’s struggling to find recruits, with the country’s Ministry of Defence saying that 5,800 more people left the forces than joined them in 2023. The UK Defence Journal writes that the army has not met its recruitment targets every year since 2010. “The problem is one that all European countries share - including France, Italy, Spain,” Vincenzo Bove, professor of political science at Warwick University in UK, told Euronews. “I don’t think there’s one country that’s spared from it.”

I'm going to go out on a limb here; maybe they don't want to die, certainly not in a pointless war that will doom the planet. A “conventional” war will release so much carbon we can forget trying to save the 1.5C Paris Accord target and pray we don't hit 4C or above. A nuclear confrontation will plunge the planet into a nuclear winter.

Strangely, the article doesn't mention this.

Les fusiliers Mont-Royal

When I was new to Warhammer army-building I totally misunderstood its rules.

I liked Dark Angels very much. And a new miniature of Magnus the Red.

That’s why I asked ‘Hey, can I build Fallen Angels army and make Magnus its leader? They both are anti-Imperium and Fallen can join any person they want. That should work, shouldn’t it?’.

Person whom I was asking laughed.
