idk how it is in other countries but I think one of the most. idk how to phrase this. politically present? problems mandatory drafting causes is that since most ppl were likely to have been soldiers in the past, present or future and so do all of their loved ones is that many refuse to even take the first step which is recognizing that being a soldier, serving and being part of an army is, in itself, an act, and that it’s not a neutral act in any way shape or form

#and I’m not even saying ‘being a soldier makes u a bad person’ bc I don’t think that ‘xyz makes u a bad person’ is a helpful way #to go abt anything no matter what the thing is #whatever I’m having an argument abt. student-soldiers on campus n I wasn’t even saying soldiers shouldn’t study #I was simply making the most milquetoast case that being in uniform (+ w a weapon) shouldn’t b allowed on campus literally all I was saying!#that showing up armed n in uniform is an act n not a neutral one n doesn’t belong on campus!!!#even trying to argue against the. v blunt militarization of the public space is exhausting #I’m so glad my friend group r normal leftists I can’t do this much longer #that’s what ppl r so mad at. the most BASIC critique of the army lmfao #I have a lot more n far worse to say abt the army in general n ours specifically obv but that’s just. the discussion I had to say #*i had today
