Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

[Autumnlicious]

I'm with Annik; I do not support such forms of legalised coercion.

Here we have 'work-for-the-dole' for people under 25. (unemployment benefits,here using the cynical euphemism 'Newstart' ) Short answer: an utter waste of time and resources, with the added risk of exploiting the kids as cheap labour.

If they're being sold off to commercial interests, the problem isn't conscription. It's the conscriptors.

Also, how else do you deal with War (Chicken) Hawks?

Explaining to them war requires sacrifice doesn't work.
