USA is only waging wars of aggression. It would be horrible forcing people to that shit, IMO.
In Finland or Germany it’s very different because our armies exist strictly for self defence. When the US military should see military action, is decided in D.C.
But when the Finnish military should see military is decided in Moscow.
If your wars are something you fan decide about, it would be extremely immoral having compulsory military service.
In countries that cannot decide when to not have a war, it’s immoral to not have compulsory military service, as that would mean only the poorest having to bear the brunt of the war.
Though, at least Finland sent the absolute minimum to both of those shitstorms, and that only after being blackmailed by USA. But zero conscripts were sent to either one. Especially the shit about Iraq is something I am really angry about.
