My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up.
When the citizens of a nation will no longer volunteer to defend it, then it is probably not worth saving. No nation has the right to survive with conscript troops, and in the long run, no nation ever has.
If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say : Let the damned thing go down the drain!
