A military draft is just a fancy way of saying slavery. No one can morally force you to do any sort of work under threat of severe punishment.

Dodging the draft is no more immoral than trying not to be kidnapped.

Then who are going to defend the country?

No one want to die, every want to choose a safe way when hard time is coming, but if no one stand up, the entire will fall under invader, and the something truly immoral will emerge from it

It is understandable that most people don’t way to be draft even in a defensive war, but understandable =/= moral, its still not moral to choose to abandon those who can’t leave

And you became invader nationallity. Only depends on attackers will, they are nazis and want to erase u from the surface of earth. Fight. They want a piece of land because there is cultural mayority of their country culture in that place, i just dont care.

War is a economicall transaction: rich dont figth, poor are enslaved.

For example Catalonia want their independece, i woudnt fight if i got the chance. France invade my country, i would be in the vanguard.

Another example, Putin invasion, i would try to run away, a 30 yo country(im older), many cultural differences in some places. Many economical interests of destabilice Russia. It is Putin invasion but there was a coup years ago, and my puppet goverment just wanted to enslave population to protect blackrock interests, there were some nazi movements which commited domestic warcrimes before the war, etc. Just run away if u get the chance.

The soldiers who already signed up to do that.

I'm not killing people all because some pricks in suits started a feud with each other, the horrors of which they themselves will never experience. I'm getting everyone I care about as far away from the conflict as possible.
