Sweden reintroduces mandatory military service
ByJames
Sweden’s government has told its citizens to prepare for war.

The government is reinstating the conscription programme that’s been paused for over a decade — and putting teenagers through boot camp.
Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys reports from the island of Gotland, Sweden.
