France on Thursday announced the creation of a paid, voluntary military service for young adults, becoming the latest European country to beef up its armed forces in the face of perceived threats from Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The move sharpened a growing debate in France, which has enjoyed decades of stability since the end of World War II, about how to prepare a population no longer accustomed to war for a new era of increased military peril.
The announcement by France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, came days after the French Army chief set off a national uproar for saying that the country must accept the possible loss of its children in a potential future conflict.
