They're talking about conscription service throughout Western countries. Only Sweden has implemented it.
Sweden was fortunate in that it was restoring a conscription system that had been dormant for less than a decade. When the system was restored, all serving field grade officers and generals had served as conscripts themselves. But the restored selective conscription system included major changes: Women were fully integrated (they now make up about 15 percent of conscripts), and Sweden established a long-service professional noncommissioned officer corps, something that had been absent in the Cold War mass army.
The success of Sweden’s selective conscription system has created a virtuous cycle. In an inversion of the paradigm afflicting most NATO countries, service begets service. **Sweden’s Home Guard, a voluntary reserve for territorial defense, has seen recruitment quadruple in early 2024 compared to the same time a year earlier. **Once an aging and socially irrelevant force, the Home Guard is suddenly popular with young Swedes, who have seen restored conscription and Sweden’s new seriousness about national defense as evidence that military service is an honorable and necessary component of citizenship.
Other volunteer auxiliary defense organizations, like the all-women Lotta Corps, have gained proportionately even more new members than the Home Guard. In January, Sweden also restored compulsory civic service, committing municipal rescue workers and critical infrastructure personnel to enhance the country’s official national strategy of societal “total defense.” As Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson bluntly told his country: “Citizenship is not [just] a travel document.”
Given all the rampant ethnic crime in Sweden, I suspect this is going the way of the US, where large organized gangs infiltrated the US military in order to gain access to training and weapons (which they then stole).
Mass immigration just sows division and resentment
