The poster I quoted said it was backwards and not even Saudi or North Korea had national service. My point is that list of countries with national service can hardly be described as backward. I've a couple of Greek mates who both had to go back and do their 9 months in the army and although they weren't keen at the time they loved the experience once they'd returned to the UK. They aren't being sent to war, just military training. Personally at 19 I was raving my nut off every weekend and so would have hated going, looking back it could have been a positive experience though.
Austria
Cyprus
Denmark
Egypt
Finland
Greece
Iran
Isreal
North Korea (ok this is backward but maybe the poster should have used google )
Norway
Russia
Switzerland
Taiwan
Thailand
that is not even all of those listed on Wiki.
All backward countries then
Although I doubt some of the Scandinavian countries rules are as tight as Korea’s seem to be, hence why Eriksen isn’t being called by Denmark
