WILL WE HAVE A CONSCRIPT ARMY OR ANOTHER FORM OF MILITARY TRAINING AGAIN?

WILL WE HAVE A CONSCRIPT ARMY OR ANOTHER FORM OF MILITARY TRAINING AGAIN?

Should the barracks be brought back or should some form of military training or preparation be introduced for Bulgarian citizens? For men only or for women as well? For all or only for a part of the population? Mandatory or voluntary? These questions are raised periodically, but there seems to be no clear understanding of the purpose of this training. There is also a lack of serious comprehensive analysis. We must clearly state that the purpose of military training of the population in any form, outside of the professional armed forces, is the potential participation of these people in the defense of the country or in performing tasks in other crises, if they are called upon.
