Quote:You choose to serve or you lose the benefits that you currently receive for being a veteran.
In a compulsory system you may, for example, lose access to the national health service you enjoyed as a benefit conferred to you by being the child of a servicemember, or even simply provided to you on the basis of your being a child. When you become an adult, you decide to go it alone with private insurance, or serve in a sector of your choosing.

So, for example, I am not a service member, nor is either of my parents. I am 17, I am not receiving any of the military benefits. I hit 18 years old, and I choose not to serve in the military or any other civil service. What services/benefits do I lose?

In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
