    No, no. Many European countries don’t even have mandatory service. The real difference is we don’t have a gun fetish and we don’t view cops as warriors that need to be armed to the teeth with military surplus to be able to stand a chance against civilians criminals. We also don’t teach courses on how it’s us vs. them and how you should always have killing on your mind in encounters with the public.
