Hypocrisy in the Bundestag: Pistorius Preaches Service, But Does Not Lead by Example


How credible is a government that demands morality in the armed forces but does not practice it itself?



In the Bundestag, AfD MP Martin Reichardt posed a clear, moral question to Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

"Mr. Minister, an army and armed forces naturally need morality. And the upbringing of the armed forces under the previous conscription model, from which one could already at that time, when it still existed, basically opt out by postcard, still exists today. Do you, as Minister, for example, plan a call from the federal government to the governing parties—and perhaps also the Greens—to lead by good example and urge their own children and family members to perform military service and serve Germany?"


Pistorius responded simply: "No!"

In an earlier TV statement, the Minister also stated:

"If we want to keep this state safe, if we want our children to still live in security and freedom in five or ten years or beyond, then we must confront the danger, the new threat coming from Russia."


The discrepancy between the demand for protection and defense of the country and the refusal to set an example oneself is obvious. While Reichardt emphasizes the moral dimension of military service, Pistorius refuses any personal or family role model function.

The question remains: How credible is a government that demands morality in the armed forces but does not practice it itself? Pistorius’ response reveals a deep gap between political rhetoric and personal responsibility—and makes the problem for the credibility of the Bundeswehr unmistakable.
