Why on earth would you think that conscripts were happy ?
They may well have been very unhappy but what’s that got to do with fighting for their country and not being traitors?

Dear Is Mise,

«They may well have been very unhappy but what’s that got to do with fighting for their country and not being traitors?»

It's called "emotions" or "feelings", have you heard about such things? Only robots do not have them.

How do most raped women feel?
You must have met some of them in your police career:
Would they be likely to miss a chance if they found an opportunity, in revenge for their pain and humiliation, to join their rapist's enemies?

I was conscripted myself and I can tell you how it feels - EXACTLY LIKE RAPE.

I totally despise anyone who will not fight for their country. Anyone who wants to sit at home protected by others is not worth spitting on. If you are going to accept the advantages of a country you should also be prepared to defend that country & your fellow citizens if the need arises. Anyone not prepared to do so is simply useless garbage.

Yuyutsu,
I was never in the police force.

Hassy,

Does fighting for Australia include your call for a preemptive nuclear strike agenst Pakistan that you once made on this Forum, which would kill millions of innocent men, women and children.

Whose the garbage?

Yuyutsu,
You obviously have no concept of rape and its aftermaths.
To compare rape to conscription is denigrating to women in general and making light of the trauma experienced by victims of rape, female and male.
Come down out of your “Sovereign Citizen” tower and spend some time in the real world, try counselling male victims of rape who are suicidal.
