Germany’s army struggles to recruit new troops

Last year, Germany decided it was time to massively increase its defence spending and boost its army’s numbers, which were dwindling for years, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, in February, the country’s parliamentary commissioner for the armed forces, Eva Högl, admitted the ambitious goal to increase the number of Bundeswehr soldiers from the current 183,000 to 203,000 by 2031 was “unattainable.” The German army is failing to recruit enough soldiers, despite a vast initiative to strengthen the country’s defence force spurred by the Ukraine war. What is your take on this considering that Russia can easily mobile its citizen for recruitment incase of a war?
