It's kinda far fetched to say WRC is more taxing nowadays. Teams used to test for months for the Safari till the 90s. Events were 5+ days and spawned thousands of competitive miles. And most drivers were also doing ERC or BRC rounds and the odd local rally, (plus Asia-Pacific for Japanese teams). Now, it's just some days of testing, a week in each rally location and maybe 1-2 local events more as a show/promotional event. Yeah, events have become more of a sprint, where you need to be 100% at most of times than endurance and management, but cars are definitely much easier to handle.

A lot of people are talking about this but as far as I know, Latvala began very young in WRC and never had this issue… and apparently, this military service in Finland exists for 100 years from what I’ve read. Never heard about that for other Finnish guys too. But I may miss something.
And even if… I’m pretty sure he could obtain an exemption for one Rally.

If it was military, I'm quite sure he would have said that, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
And if really needed, I believe there are ways to find something why one cannot go there..
I have heard that in Finland there is possible to serve it half and half time(for sportsmen)..
Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a shakedown of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7OEfYKoYV1/?igsh=czZzYzB1dm9zeHd4 ...
