A tradition that has been determining men's fate since 1905. I went to go see how people felt about the mandatory lottery that plays with young men's lives. Do people think it's a good or bad thing? In this video we find out from locals, and learn a bit more about this interesting process I had never heard of or seen before. Join me!

*disclaimer*
In no way does this video reflect my views. I'm simply a man with a camera travelling around and sharing things I find interesting. Even though I thoroughly research this, it could all be entirely wrong, so please do your own research. I support countries with national service and I think the armed forces are a necessary thing for a country to be safe.
The army officer in the photo has been generated by AI, so I'm aware this is not the official uniform of the country.
