The government tried to address the issue by lowering the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and introducing tougher rules for those evading the call-up. But it has so far resisted lowering the mobilisation age further to boost manpower.

meanwhile, in the american empire, we send adult sized children at 18 who are not yet old enough to drink alcohol or rent a car to commit terrible violence in in places like the middle east or latin america and no one bats a single eye.

They still have plenty of 18 year olds and I bet that they punish the ones to can see the writing in the wall that their gov't refuses to acknowledge and try to save themselves from the pointless meat grinder.
