If you pro-military folks want to drone on about how wonderful service is and how there are over 200 jobs and blah blah, that's fine- but I am not less a man, less a person, less a patriotic, God-fearing (in my case), democracy-loving, peace-minded human being because I do not think I should be FORCED to enter the service with you.
I am not ungrateful of my past and my present, and I know exactly what you all do for those of us who choose not to serve. That choice is our right. How can one engage in extolling the virtues of service as being the "protector of our freedoms", while simultaneously trying to abridge them?
From a purely "i want to win" standpoint- I'd also point out that an army of people who do not want to be there will not do nearly as good a job as, and will pose a threat to, the good people who volunteer for this very important role.
