Not disagreeing. More devils advocate.

But are you basically saying if your home is attacked by another nation. One much larger and using draft to fill the ranks of attackers.

You are happy to allow your leader to fail to convince people to save your and your family/childrens lives.

Because at the end of it. That is why many folks support draft for a nation under attack.

I personally always think it is best as a last resort. Trained full time pros are genrally better at the job. But in an attack like this the amount of work needed to build and manage defences needs a huge labour force. Even modern tech warfare needs huge labour.

It is the idea that everyone needs the actions of these people to survive. That makes the vast majority express views like Ops original comment.
