70% for and 30% against, good. NSG has come through.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

If their allies actually acted instead of just doing nothing... either way, poland should have preemptively invaded germany in 1933.
In my opinion, a only male draft would make sense for a total war lasting for at least a decade, not for a total occupation after a month followed by a total liberation in the next.

In 2014, over 40 Russian military vessels were sighted in Lithuanian water, compared to one in 2010. NATO jets are often scrambled to intercept Russian jets in the area as well. The conscription could buy more time for other forces to arrive. Or it could result in more deaths.

How many minutes these few thousands of conscripts could buy? Tell me, please!
As for "terrifying Russian drills" - Russis a) Can do anything on its territory b) It actually does this kind of things since like forever..

Thousands of additional men do have a tendency to increase one's tactical and strategic flexibility, so it would depend on the situation.
Also, at risk of being Russophobic, I must point out that Russian 'drills' in Lithuanian waters aren't in Russian territory.

The reintroduction of cinscription, OTOH, opens all passible ways for corrupt officials to capitalise on it (just look at the Ukraine right now and the rising rate of bribes required to "buy" yourself a right dignosis to dodge the military service). I for one won't be surprised, if after adoption of this initiative Lithuanians would (re)join the international brotherhood of draft-dodgers.
This is like three to five combat regiments at arms.
This is a lot.

Finland was able to hold off the Russian military during WW2 for an impressive amount of time. And 3000 per year, can add up pretty fast, and allow Russians to take less land while NATO responds. It's better to at least try to defend your home, a nation that isn't worth defending isn't worth living in.
NATO also has stationed troops in Lithuania, which is a big deterrent right now.

Enough time for Nato to come in and throw the Invaders out.
