In his podcast "Die Supernasen", Thomas Gottschalk (74) speculated with his co-presenter Mike Krüger (72) about the German armed forces. In Gottschalk's opinion, women could "also get involved a bit".

In the current edition of the podcast "Die Supernasen", Gottschalk explained to his co-presenter Mike Krüger: "Mike, unlike me, you went through the Bundeswehr. We all agree that it's not the worst experience you can have in life."

Gottschalk: Teenagers are "just being spoiled"
It's good for young people "to find themselves in a community where it's not just about being spoiled", said the 74-year-old.

Gottschalk is also in favor of introducing compulsory military service for women.

Nowadays, parents make life "as easy as possible" for their children, complained the former "Wetten, dass...?" presenter. This is not the case in the military: "In the Bundeswehr, they don't make it as easy as possible. And sometimes that's a really good experience." Krüger agreed and emphasized that he thought "voluntary military service" was a "very good idea".

Women "don't have to go to the front"
Gottschalk was also in favor of targeting young women. "There's a discussion that girls shouldn't have to do it, men should take it seriously if possible," he explained. "Of course, in the spirit of emancipation, it's not a bad thing for women to get involved. They don't have to be on the front line."

However, his podcast partner took a different view: "Anyone who's ever been through the field with a machine gun during basic training knows what that means. And I wouldn't really want to put women through that, despite equal rights." In his opinion, "men should apply first".
