    what if you had a brother that was drafted? or a best friend?
    you would simply say, what?
    "Sorry about your luck dude, but I'm a coward and cant be by your side." ?!?!?

    hmmm.....'k thats not fair to you gep, as the leaders of the country could be absolute evil fkrs....
    in that case I could understand, but,
    then you could always mobilize against the evil bastards running teh country

    war is irrational

    edit: no - war is rational

    hate is irrational
    war is supposed to be hate

    some wars are not hate

    iraq was not hate

    You can't call someone a coward for going against what everyone else is doing, or for that matter for standing up for what he believes in.

    If it's an unjust war then everyone who do go along are in the wrong, after all. Maybe the ones who don't object are the cowards in that scenario.


    I don't think starting a war against your own government would be a stroke of genious either, even if they are wrong.

    Look at most underdeveloped countries - their governments infrastructure is based on corruption - for many of the "small" people - a coup is the only way out -but generally this corruption is embedded in the system on all levels - so it will easily reapear.
    In Lithuania this was the case - until they set up an anti corruption council and put tons of people in jail - (this was forced by the EU) now it is a different world.

    it doesn't matter who i knew who got drafted, if it was unjust i'd refuse to play.

    if my country was invaded by an oppressive force i'd fight for my country.

    if my country invaded another country as an oppressive force i wouldn't fight. i would probably join a movement to get my government to back down (or just complain about it on the internet )


    should i look at the cowardice remark as jest or something more worrying?
