It seems like a signal of fear/pessimism/reality hitting the general population, which is pretty interesting. The young men are more wary of the future than they were before, enough to make the effort to submit the application.
Submission statement: Article talks about Germany’s efforts to build up its military to counteract Russia and other similar authoritarian style movements and governments. It goes into detail on the surge of objectors to military service. Germany has seen a sharp rise from men refusing to serve this year.
Maybe the Germans could consider enlisting Greeks as *foederati*?
What are the odds Germany eventually brings back conscription?
