“Anyone who has to be “dragged off the street” to fight for his country (when invaded, not to invade someone else) is unworthy of the air he breathes. That goes double for deserters.”
Unless their military is lead by blithering idiots like Douglas Haig in WWII England, or unless maybe they are in the demographic of Ukes that knows what Banderists and Svoboda and Right Sector are. Or unless you grew up speaking a language that they suddenly decided was illegal, or your mom got arrested for laying flowers at a WWII memorial, or your church just got seized by the state, or you even see the “invaders” as kicking the hell out of the nazis that seized your government and torment you now. Then it’s perfectly rational not to join in.
PS... and I’m going to guess you have never been in a trench under artillery fire.
Hey hey hey. Don’t pick on the FR’s gallant Keyboard Warrior Brigade

Good guess. My “war”was the Cuban missile crisis. My ship evacuated military dependents and civvy contractors from GTMO. We were a big fat target in that bay.
