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.”

If you’re talking about what schools teach students and you throw in the word “war” in the middle of your list, you should expect people to jump on it.
It’s not clickbait at all. Everyone knows that we should teach students to handle bad situations, and that we should have disaster preparation plans. Remarking on that isn’t surprising at all.
It’s also extra shocking to mention wars when you’re talking about Western Europe, where many of those countries have nuclear weapons, so there’s really not an obvious candidate for who they could feasibly fight. So then why try to teach kids about how to fight in wars? There are many answers, and I think the two most obvious ones are patriotic agendas and a desire for increased government spending.
