There is going to be more than enough people left after a draft to take care
of the kids. In Norway only 2/3 of the males finish the year/15 months of
service. Around 11.5 percent (According to a newspaper article I read some
years ago. For 4.1 million people that yields around 470 000 people.)of the
population are available to the armed forces in peace time. In case of an
emergency this could increase.
