"Being drafted to defend your own country is not being Shanghaied"

Being forcibly rounded up by press gangs because incompetent rulers have started a war with a nation 30 times more powerful than yours at the instigation and for the nefarious purposes of neoconn criminals, is being Shanghaied.

Impressment on the streets is not a civilized way to treat citizens.

After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, Britain formally ended the practice; later conscription was not limited to the Royal Navy but covered all British armed forces.
The Ukrainians prove their barbarism.
