Yeh definitely the way to go.

Of course, in Denmark, the people who go to war are either Special Forces people or Royal Air Force pilots. Both are being paid by the government. Don't think we've called in what's our reservists for war since WWII.

Still, if a country does that, it'd be nice if they were given the necessary financial support.

OTOH, it's still a choice, to be a reservist or not.

My employer didn't do more than the letter of the law -- time off but nothing more. I remember having to use vacation time a couple of years when summer camp rolled around just to pay rent. What a bunch of crap that was.
