Comments by "SHROOMY" (@shroomyesc) on "Russia's Obligatory Military Service" video.

Finland has another compulsory army (because of Russia's army, lol) but it's nowhere near as bad of an experience and you can get excused pretty much if you go to the doctor and say you have a bum knee (unless you're unlucky, my doctor was Estonian so she said tough shit) so ~25% of young men get excused and the rest just go cause conforming is less effort, that's the Finnish culture really. Really the worst part is the bullshit propaganda they try pulling like the targeted online ads (facebook snapchat, etc), and those "come to the army it's awesome pew pew action" videos they show teens at school.

@doodles1778 Jehovah's Witnesses used to have an exception here in Finland but the government is removing religion as an excuse

@doodles1778 Wish we had something like that, although getting excused for medical reasons is pretty easy here unless you're unlucky and have a strict nurse

Evading is probably more common in Russia and because people know it's not great so they're understanding about it. Us Finnish people are just massive conformists so it comes with the culture that it doesn't go down well here.

@k3kboi665 No ei, mutta meillä suomalaisilla on tapana keksiä väkisin positiivisia puolia ettei myönnetä että mennään vaan koska muutkin menee. Vähän kui askel ylöspäin siitä niiku riparin kanssa, 75% maasta ei usko mutta käydään silti ja rukoillaan ku muutki tekee ja perustellaan että "no saa kavereita".
