Parisians express strong reactions to President Emmanuel Macron’s planned voluntary military service, expected to be announced during his visit to the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade. Locals criticize the idea as unnecessary, unrealistic, and poorly timed, questioning both the geopolitical reasoning and the financial feasibility. The proposal comes as France and other EU nations reassess military readiness.

00:00I'm not sure whether France needs more military because the army is already

00:12quite big it is also the last time France won a war was 1815 so I'm not

00:19sure whether the French will really help security in Europe I think the army

00:24everywhere in Europe should be professionalized and maybe the reserve

00:28should become bigger so that people work have a normal life but going through

00:34the reserves because in many countries that's an issue of course there's also

00:38the other problem is that in most of the European countries there's a huge

00:41shortage on the labor market so we simply don't have the people to send to

00:46the army and maybe that's one of the reasons why we could need military

00:50service

00:53no it doesn't matter too much I've always had a lot of pain with the

00:59authority so I can't do that at all

01:01unfortunately they would have to come back with me

01:03you know very well that the military service is impossible today

01:10there's no prison, no cadre, no nothing

01:13there's no prison, no one can't do it

01:15there's no service military service

01:17no it's just a connery

01:19we have done the military service

01:21in our generation

01:23it was good

01:25after Chirac was removed

01:27why not

01:29but today it's impossible

01:31there's nothing to do

01:33there's nothing to do

01:35technically

01:37why don't they tell me that

01:38why don't they tell me that

01:43there's a lot of comms

02:09I don't think it's a matter very much

02:11and...

02:13uh...

02:14I don't know

02:15because....

02:16I don't know, I didn't have to ask the question, but it's not something that I want to spontaneity.

02:27I'd say that it's not a priority, I think.

02:30For example, at the level of education at the university,

02:33the budgetary education,

02:35I wouldn't say that the army is the most important place.

02:40I'm not pro-Russes nor pro-Ukrainian,

02:48but I'm afraid of people, personally, for nothing at all.

02:54The Russians will never envy the West Europe, it's completely absurd.

03:03I think it's not at all priority,

03:06it's going to cost a lot of money if it's put in place.

03:11I'm not really for it, not really.

03:23Not at all, I don't think it's something that's done for me.

03:28There are a lot of young people who would like it, but not at all.

03:31If it's just a desire to responsabilise the young people

03:38and allow them to access to this place,

03:41if they want it, I think it's a good thing.

03:43But it's not liable to the current politics,

03:45because it's bad for young people.

04:01People have to be hesitant to be a littleепent with what to do for the next

04:06undergraduate school.

04:08They came from a commercialのは an expert in hospital.

04:10Then the parents knew they had a teacher Kapila Chia as that.

04:11They did more economic reunion to the hospital,

04:12when they didn't have human thoughts about a hospital.

04:13They died in the hospital.

04:14They didn't know how to deal with the hospital with this position,

04:16they were bad for them looking at the hospital.

04:17They were bad for them, but it was not a really bad situation.

04:19They are so sick, they can't remember their car pain,

04:24saying they don't Verizon already.

04:25It's the feeling that they don't know,

04:26and they don't really getaus fondo.
