I don't want to die for my country as I'm more valuable being alive, but on the other hand if no one does the bully will just take it.
I have the option to just leave as I'd get a job everywhere in the world, with the financial stability to go wherever. A lot of people don't have this option. I also have no kids required to protect.
I would however fight from a distance, or for a more targeted assassination mission to end the war.
It's different per person, but I haven't fought my whole life for a normal life, to now get my ass shot off. I've already PTSD from my abused childhood, I don't need another.
So yes it's required to have conscription, but I'd be the first to refuse. So what is my opinion worth?
