BERLIN - APRIL 06: Soldiers of the German Bundeswehr march past conscripts who had just arrived on their first day of compulsory military service at the Julius Leber barracks on April 6, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and Family Minister Kristina Schroeder are seeking to push through a new law to shorten the current service period of 9 months down to 6, though zu Guttenberg acknowledges the move would likely cost the military an additional EUR 26 million annually.
