I can cross the border into Holland go to the Supermarket or Chemists (specifically sited there for German buyers) & pick up a box of
100, yes
100, Paracetamol 500mg with or without Caffeine for €1,50 about GBP 1.25.
As to the National service I agree totally, the "Wehrdienst" was abolished on the 01/07/11 but prior to that all youngsters after their schooling & if they didn't go into further education or apprenticeship had to serve either as "Wehrdienst" Military or "Zivildienst" working in Hospitals, old peoples homes & suchlike. Although it isn't perfect at least they got another perspective on life which may well have changed some attitudes & perceptions of these young adults.
