    When the country is doing stupid shit like invading Iraq I’m opposed to the draft. When it’s defending against an existential threat which is on native soil, I don’t have as much sympathy for people avoiding the draft.

        Do you think there are situations where conscription is appropriate?

          No. People should fight for what they believe in, not got someone else’s beliefs. If you can’t convince them then that’s your problem.
