You have a completely false impression of the situation here. We do have more and more civil servants, but they are getting less and less organized. The structures required for registering, examining, and conscripting those selected do not exist. There are not enough barracks. There is not enough equipment.

It would have to be procured: definition of requirements, identification of potential suppliers, implementation of a Europe-wide tender process, at a minimum...

Our equipment was scrapped by the Russians in a country further east. We have no way of expanding existing production capacities because we lack skilled workers and/or robots. Not to mention the necessary raw materials, which we would probably have to buy in Russia or China :-)).

And then there are our potential fighters! The first German generations who demand that their parents leave them the means to live an effortless and carefree life. Who can no longer read, write, and do arithmetic sufficiently.

If they could do the fighting by swiping around in the appropriate app on their smartphones, things might look different.
