Schools should prep students for war, German minister says
Germany's education minister said students should be taught what to do in the case of wars, natural catastrophes or pandemics. She also said it was important they know how the army contributes to Germany's security.
The minister also called for developing a "relaxed" relationship between school students and the armed forces. She suggested that military officers visit schools to explain what "the Bundeswehr does for our security."

Isn't it funny that this: "Society as a whole must be well prepared for crises — ranging from a pandemic, to natural disasters, to war," she said. Became this: "Schools should prep students for war, German minister says"
And to be honest, yes kids should be taught how to handle bad situations. Just like they need to be taught how to handle money, how to build a budget, how to handle their own emotions and how to see a clickbait from a mile away.

The context is that the defense minister said Germany must be "fit for war". That's not clickbait by DW, that's actually what anyone following the news would take away from this. They're just emphasizing the most important part.

But thats a different minister, speaking about a different, if broadly related subject, right?
Like, I get that the overlap in the messaging is concerning, these things don't always happen by accident, and even less so when there's a PR strategy involved, but the defense minister's comments were very much in the context of fixing up known problems with the German armed forces. There wasn't anything to suggest that he was talking about putting the country on a war footing.
The overlap here seems to really be that both ministers are acknowledging that Europe as a whole has a highly belligerent, authoritian and revanchist rogue state on its border that is currently in the process of building up one on the largest militaries in the world, and is actively invading a neighboring country. Its hard not be talking about planning for the possibility of war in that context.
