On November 3, 2004, the last conscripts left the Hungarian Army after a 135-year tradition of the draft. Today, nostalgia for the army is intense, and military survival camps have become fashionable. For the past three years, the Military Traditional Association in Mogyoród, Hungary, has hosted military camps for children. For one week, kids learn what was taught to soldiers in a month of basic training and take part in shooting exercises with dummy ammunition. The practice has made some wonder if the camps are a way for extreme right-wing groups to acquire military training and experience.
