Hi,
Your logic escapes me. First you say "Madness! Next we'll be in favour of forcing soldiers to do something that may be against their conscience... Like shooting at people."
I point out the existence of conscientious objectors and you reply:
Your argument is, I think, neither apropos nor rational.

Quote:I'm well aware of their existance in countries with conscription... Yet I don't think that makes a good defense in a volunteer military, like in the US or Canada.And at this point I'm baffled. If killing people is against a person's conscience, why would that person join an army, especially an all volunteer army?
Your argument is, I think, neither apropos nor rational.
