Asepalvelus
Asepalvelus, or compulsory military service, is a government-mandated period during which eligible citizens are required to serve in the armed forces. Typically enacted to maintain national defense, it involves training, drills, and duties necessary for national security. The length and specifics vary by country, and some nations offer alternatives like civilian service for those with conscientious objections. Asepalvelus aims to ensure a ready and trained reserve force, foster national unity, and develop discipline and skills among citizens. It's a civic obligation that balances individual rights with collective security needs.
