Well, one is legal and the other is not. It appears that our government allows people to express their opinions, but not to shirk duty when ordered. That's probably for the best, because while some people might criticize conscription at one point, others might criticize it at some other point. So our First Amendment remains intact, but when ordered to go, we must go.
