It isn’t just about the military. I’ve not read the article, but Germany suffers from not having enough people working in social services. This problem got worse after getting rid of conscription. You could either choose military service or social work.
By reintroducing it, they hope to fill in some gaps.
Pedantically speaking… they don’t. And it may be difficult to draw a distinction between a window with a very low sill and a door with an extremely high sill.
Der Fenstersturzschein des TÜV ist für nur einen Fenstersturz gültig. Sie müssen die Fenstersturzmeldungstelle noch mal kontaktiert um einen neuen Schein zu bekommen, dann einen anderen Termin bei uns nachfragen. Schönen tag noch. HALLO NÄCHSTE BITTE

Defenestrated? You think the German military has that large of a budget?!
You can use the same window more than once
That’s a great idea, but how much glass do you need to knock out of a window before it just becomes door.
Haha, trick question. Doors go all the way to the floor.

Doors usually have something on the other side.

Also some hospital work. Bedpan cleaning, etc.
