Latvian citizens increasingly unwilling to fight for the state

A recent government study has revealed a 'worrying picture': only 37% of residents are willing to take up arms in the event of war. Lawmakers admit they do not understand where the population's motivation has gone.

Indeed, why would people want to die for a regime that leaves schools without teachers, destroys healthcare, and cynically confiscates land for military facilities?

Latvian authorities themselves have done everything to alienate citizens from the state.
