I don't see the big deal about Germany having a professional army talking only about the army not what affects it would have on the public I think it would be good we (Australia) have a professional army its one of the most respected and best trained in the world we did have conscripts back in Veitnam they did fight just as well and as brave as the professional soldiers.
Professional armies will always be better then conscript armies because a professional army wants to fight and all they do is train to fight.
