Along with TikTok videos, weekend plans and history classes, there is another topic of conversation that Signe Le Fevre, 17, from Hobro in northern Denmark, discusses with her friends: whether they will soon be forced to join the army.
“Because that’s apparently a normal thing to talk about now as a teenage girl in Denmark,” Le Fevre says. “I turn 18 in February and it is a worry. Not many of us have a good feeling about it and are actually pretty scared to be selected — including me.”
