A defensive war, yes I would go. Attacking another country that is not a threat at all, no. "An evil man" is not a reason to start a war, or else we would be at war with half the world.
Ah, isn't that special. Almost brought a tear to my eye!
LOL!
Hey, the great thing is, you can say what you want since you're here!
Now actually avoiding a call to active duty in the VERY remote chance a draft will ever again be enacted, well, that's something I guess you'll have to deal and live with should it ever occur. There has always been, and will always be those whom take everything they have here for granted, take all they can and feel no duty to give anything back, the good thing is though, those people are by far the minority.
Perhaps there are those whom can simply not tolerate actuall battelfield conflict and killing, or, are just plain scared, that's understandable especially in the society we live in today. The good thing is, in todays military, you can still serve and support and never have to see the battlefield or killing first hand! Perhpas that would be a way for some of you!
