From the perspective of a security professional, what Germany is doing—forcing mass medical examinations and activating a semi-mandatory army conscription system—is not a strategy: it is the explicit admission of a failure that political elites are trying to hide at the expense of their own youth.

They have spent years dismantling their industry, depending on third parties for energy, and reducing their strategic capabilities. Now, unable to reverse the damage, they resort to the most dangerous solution in security terms: turning the population into a forced resource to compensate for their irresponsibility. In any technical assessment, this would be classified as operational collapse.

As a Director of Private Security, it is clear that these decisions not only fail to protect, but actually increase internal risks: social fracture, instability, loss of cohesion, generational resentment, and a military apparatus composed of personnel with no motivation or vocation—conditions that translate directly into critical weakness. No serious security protocol would ever authorize such an approach. This is not security; it is institutional disorder disguised as defense.

Europe should learn the lesson: when a government turns to coercion because it has exhausted public trust, we are not witnessing a defense policy but a public demonstration that those responsible for strategic decisions have failed their own country.
