Myanmar’s junta is enforcing a law requiring all men aged 18-35 and women aged 18-27 to serve at least two years under military command, it said on Saturday, as it struggles to crush opposition to its 2021 coup.

The country has been in turmoil since the military seized power that year, with massive pro-democracy protests morphing into widespread armed resistance.

Might be a really good way to unintentionally get more arms into leftist groups biding their time (and maybe get some more people radicalized).
