Draft examination by Sibylle Teichert

Draft examination by Sibylle Teichert

This is a newspaper interview with a draft doctor, Sibylle Teichert, at the end of the draft (but it will continue for her with the volunteers. She can go on as usual). http://www.ftd.de/politik/deutschland/:ende-der-wehrpflicht-besuch-bei-der-scheidenden-musterungsaerztin/60146075.html the whole article is focused on genitalia, the powerlessness of the victim and Mrs Teichert’s power over stripped young men. This woman (52) has spent the last 26 years checking conscripts for forced service in the armed forces, and, though she never herself, due to her gender, was subject to the draft and/or humiliating ‘medical’ examinations, she is described in the interview as missing the times, now gone (since a year or two) when she could ask the police to pick up youngsters who in fear had tried to stay away from her thorough inspections of them. Each and every one of them have then had to present to her their genitals and turn around and bend over to have their anus checked. Ultimately the police would secure that they didn’t escape this woman and/or her colleagues. “Nun müsse man noch einer eventuellen Analfistel auf den Grund gehen – die störe beim Marschieren” or in English: “We have to look for anal fistulas, she said. They disturb the marching…”  Interesting, only men are checked for that, women who volounteer for the army are not….  And how ridiculous an excuse to humiliate people: anybody with such problems (not being able to walk… I hope we are not talking about “Stechmarsch” or goose step…. or are we, Mrs Teichert?) would seek help from decent medical personal long before ending up infront of this woman or her colleagues.
