How did the author's personal experience of resisting military conscription reflect broader societal shifts in attitudes toward military service in Spain?

However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted a substantial increase in defense budgets, reaching €326 billion or 1.9% of the EU's GDP, although this remains far below the spending levels of the US, China, or Russia.
