Re: Mandatory Military Service
There are differences in the types of war a nation may fight.
World War II was a war, that I consider a just war against fascist oppression. It is when the United States(and the world) genuinely felt that there was a threat to the freedom of humanity.
Wars like the Iraq War, should just be renamed the Halliburton war, because its a war for money using the threat of terrorism as a guise.
Take a look at what Hermann Göring(2nd Highest Nazi, behind Hitler himself) said:
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
