Austrians vote to keep Compulsory Military Service

Like Singapore, Austria is a small country.
They have compulsory military service for their citizens.
They recently carried out a referendum.
The results of the referendum is a strong vote (60%) in favor of keeping the compulsory military service.
This is a good indicator that the Austrians recognize the value of a citizen's army

The finding is relevant to Singapore in more ways that one.
Look at the length of their compulsory military service - six months
Singapore can learn from this referendum.
