I'd sooner flee the country than voluntarily serve myself up as cannon fodder for the bankers, corporations and corrupt politicians that have run this country into the ground.
This.
Aren't all govt's corrupt? Besides, what happens if you flee and then get conscripted into their service? All is fair in love and war. I'd hate to become a soldier in the N. Korean Army when the U.S. Marines hit the shore.
I know what you mean, I was just agreeing that in general terms I wouldn't want to die just so some corporation gets wealthy from arms sales and I also wouldn't want to die on behalf of international finance. There's a great book called Confessions of an Economic Hitman, you've probably heard of it. It makes you question why many wars/invasions happen.
