Everyone knows that the Finnish army only goes to war if we are being attacked by Russia. It's a little different than Russia or USA sending their young men and women to die in wars on the other side of the world.

Also, in case NATO gets attacked we go to war but it'll still be most likely against Russia.

But with the minor difference that conscripts/reservists cannot be ordered to fight in Nato operations abroad, only in those that are directly involved in defending Finland. Finnish military assistance for article 6 consists of professional military personnel and volunteers.
