Minor note: you have a choice of civil or military service in Germany. Civil
service would be things like being a cook at an old folks home and so on. If
you choose civil service it usually lasts a few more months then military
service. I don't think he's a pacifist so much as lazy. Plus you can get out
of military/civil service with a lot less hassle then leaving the country
(medically invalid, school, etc.).
