      Technically it is true, war has created plenty of friendships that would not have existed otherwise.

      However, that is not what I wrote, I wrote that compulsory millitary service is in general a good idea and that one of benefits is unity and understanding between citizens.

            Because you are finding a trivial benefit to something bad and pretending that’s normal. You can go be a scout, have a sports team, a million other things to have camaraderie. But no, you want the fucking military. In a time when everybody is jerking off to war and finding excuses to enact shit you want the army because friends.

              Yes you are right on all those points, but the topic was mandatory military service, not scouting, joining a sports team or a million other things.

              Is it strange that I focus on the topic of conversation and not list irrelevant topics?

                No, not at all, it’s just that you support mandatory military service.

                Neither of the other options are mandatory, and the strange thing is that you support the one that is besides being mandatory it is also deadly, if you’re in the system at the wrong time. You think that the possibility of making friends counterweights the high chance of death and life long injuries, and that’s just crazy.

                If nobody wants to do the job, maybe the solution is to make it more attractive, instead of making it mandatory.
