Forced “Voluntary” Medical Examinations

If, after receiving the questionnaire from the Bundeswehr, you’ve filled it out and “obediently” sent it back, you might suddenly find a “summons to participate in an assessment and physical examination” in your mailbox. Physical examinations have already begun in Schleswig-Holstein. One person — let’s call him Fiete from Kiel — went to one.

After spending four hours at the Bundeswehr Career Center and having his testicles examined, Fiete decided he wouldn’t keep this to himself. He went to the Kiel School Strike Committee and shared his experiences. Now he is one of thousands of students currently preparing for the fourth school strike against the draft.

On the website linked below, we read: There is a lot of anger over the military conscription screenings in Schleswig-Holstein. After all, they weren’t actually supposed to start until next year. Golo from Kiel says: “Suddenly, we all had a letter in our mailboxes inviting us to a conscription screening. It wasn’t clear whether it was voluntary or mandatory. One person went and was examined for four hours — including a testicular exam and questions about whether he would shoot other people. That’s crazy; they really want to force us into the trenches.” It wasn’t until they called the German Armed Forces that they learned the physical examinations aren’t yet mandatory. That’s why the students are now even more determined to take to the streets.

Election next week: World Peace Day or the Red Storm Charlie military exercise

For the nationwide school strike movement, the answer is clear; it is calling for a school strike on Friday, September 25. In their press release, they state: “In Kiel and Flensburg, 18-year-olds have been receiving summonses for military physical examinations since July. This also applies to men who indicated on the mandatory registration form that they had no interest in the Bundeswehr. 300,000 people were sent letters, and only 530 signed up for military service. Since we obviously aren’t interested in that, they’re already starting with the physical examinations — and starting next year, it will be mandatory. The federal government is doing everything it can to create the strongest army in Europe and prepare for war. To that end, conscription is being introduced step by step. But we’ll continue to strike against it on September 25."
