Isn't umm fighting against invasion is required by law for most countries?
Sometimes the law is wrong, and following it is wrong
Dying for nothing in a lost war is one of those times
Weird way to justify people being forced to fight into something they clearly don't believe in or have any interest defending.
law has nothing to do with morality
So according to your galaxy brain logic slavery war moral when it was legal in US?
I said that law has nothing to do with morality, and you claimed that is wildly incorrect. So, I gave you a clear example of a law that's directly at odds with morality. What part of that are you struggling to comprehend there?
Again, laws are not a source of morality and whether something is legal or not has no impact on whether it's moral, so your justification of conscription as being legal is nonsensical. Hope that clears things up for you.
It's like you can't understand the concept of thing being tangential. Laws can align with morality or not, but morality is not derived from laws. Nor do laws have to be derived from morality.
I have the same to say to you. :)
You are being remarkably patient with this individual that is wilfully missing your point.
Let's not forget that most countries also have constitutions. The citizens constitutional rights cannot be overshadowed by draft. Therefore forcible totalitarian draft is not legal. Here it's problematic because sovereign legal institutions are non existent in Ukraine and lets admit that in many states legal institutions would crumble when defending citizens rights against violent governments.
