Growing number of Germans refuse military service despite army expansion plans

Germany aims to build Europe's strongest army, but an increasing number of citizens are refusing military service by invoking the constitutional right to conscientious objection on religious or moral grounds. At the same time, some who previously refused service are reversing course in response to the war in Ukraine and now wish to enlist. The trend highlights a growing tension between Germany's defence ambitions and public willingness to serve.
