This would help to understand what men and women we can rely on, "said the Chairman of the Free Democratic Party in the Bundestag Christian Durr, Deutsche Welle reports.
He acknowledges that the Bundesver needs to be strengthened, but like many German politicians, he does not approve of the idea of returning general military service. Durr believes that more attention should be paid to reservists and improving the conditions for them.
In early April, the Chairman of the Union of Reservists of Germany stated in early April, the Bild newspaper was that the German Armed Forces should have 800,000 soldiers to ensure the country's defense capability. This, according to his estimates, means that about 600,000 reservists are required except 200,000 operating military.
Zensburg also suggested to check the health of reservists - according to him, only about 900 thousand. If half of them still meet the criteria, then they do not have to look for new ones, Insenburg is sure.
