View submission: A question about conscription
Well guess what buddy? everybody fucking dies sooner or later. Let kids be kids and live the life God gave to them. Why does he have to give his life just so some power hungry men gets what they want while the rest of the world can go burn?
YOU ARE ASKING HIM TO DIE. Thats what you are doing right now. You think that the military is good just because YOU have a good experience. Some people dont wanna suffer, some people dont wanna experience PTSD and alot of stress. If you can handle it well good for you!
It is YOU who is being selfish here by drowning his voice! It is you who is being selfish here by not thinking first why he dont wanna join your little boys club. You just instantly call him a chicken without even asking first, "maybe this guy doesnt wanna join the military because he has been through enough problems in his life that he dont want no other stress to pile up in his life" or "maybe this guy just dont wanna become another dead weight to the military because he knows that he himself isnt mentally or physically possible?"
But NOOOOO you didnt asked yourself those questions. You called him a coward because thats what you have been taught in the military; That violencr solve everything! Or its better to be a violent person to become a man! Violence good > peace bad, thats your mentally but I dont blame you because thats what they do. They get in your heads and reprogram you

You have completely missed what I have said.
No where did I say military service is good or that it will make him a man. I’m not saying anything about patriotism or honor or any of that bullshit.
I’m saying that it is a selfish act because when he leaves a hole it does not stay empty. Someone else is brought up to fill that space that he is left. How is it right or fair or just to place yourself above those who are doing what is asked of them.
That is why it is wrong; he is asking others to do what he will not.
Also it’s a year; and chances are he will not die. It’s not the end of the world to do a year and then go on with your life.
