Denmark begins extended military conscription including women to protect Greenland

Good news! The government of Denmark does not want to sell Greenland to President Trump! 😊

At least one Western country that takes gender equality seriously when it comes to conscription!

"... Denmark said in 2024 it would extend conscription to include women for the first time and increase standard service time to 11 months from four, while the number of conscripts is set to increase to 7,500 annually by 2033 from 5,000. ...

The new intake arrives as Denmark prepares to deploy conscripts to Greenland for the first time later this month, with a company of more than 100 soldiers set to serve for one month, taking over operational tasks from professional troops. ..."
