Compulsory military service or conscription as it's sometimes called.

Last year Sweden reintroduced it and German MPS are talking about bringing it back after it was suspended 11 years ago. Why are countries with professional forces looking to swell their ranks?

Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
