I was born in America and now am a Canadian citizen. I'm pretty doubtful I'd die for either country unless their motives closely aligned with my personal value. I do regret that you've been downvoted so severely, your general opinion and offer of self-sacrifice is certainly something I've genuinely seen in people before and I think it comes from a noble ideal.

The problem, IMO, is that this policy is far too broad and punishing. I much prefer the US approach here which has always been to offer ever increasing carrots - I'm less comfortable using the stick to increase service manpower.

    You called people unreliable citizens for... Not wanting to die in a war created by those who will never serve in it. I don't want to fight nor die for arbitrary borders on the whim of whoever is in charge. Killing someone because you were forced to is disgusting.
