    Better than shooting someone in cold blood because “murder is valid because we said it was war time.” I’d rather be in jail than a murderer, I don’t need to add PTSD when my brain is already fucked up.

        I am, and they wouldn’t care in a draft. I’m a suicidal weirdo who refuses to harm anyone, I barely have the will power to harm myself, let alone others stuck in similar situations.

        I just will say anything to get out of service of a war.

          Apart from “I’m a conscientious objector” apparently. You have that right.

            I’m going to say it. I was trying to be funny on the internet. I apologize.

        Because the military has shown how fond of them they are even when they are truly heroes aka Desmond Doss’ story…

          It sounds like you really don’t want the military to be fond of you anyway. Conscientious objector would be the legal route to ensure you did not go to war.

            With the “it’s complicated” tag. Not necessarily, there are levels of conscientious objector. It is possible to drafted into a non combat role depending on how you are classified.
