It’s been kinda “opt out” since the 70’s, so you could write a letter along the lines of “I was raised a pacifist and cannot point a gun at anybody” and do non-military service instead. Like in an old folks home or a hospital. If they bring back military service the way it was (until around 2012 I believe?), that’s completely fine I think.
There’s a law being discussed to bring compulsory military service back.

They already passed the law that will bring back compulsory military service under the pretense of only resorting to it if not enough young people volunteer.
