Austria is rich specifically because of its location, its perceived lack of culpability after WW2, and the security blanket of the postwar western alliance.
Get back to me when the US or wherever you are from introduces mandatory military service. You are such a wuss. Always talking, but you've probably done zero for your country.

Right beause "mandatory military service" is somehow linked to a country doing its fair share in terms of collective defense.

I am a German citizen, BTW, which had mandatory military service until relatively recently. It has absolutely nothing to do with Germany's relative commitment to global security.
