I paused “a man's search for meaning” audiobook that I am listening to at the moment ( https://dailyprogress.org ), to read this article.

Compelled service offends me greatly.

Just as compelled speech, injections, religion, or anything else, is reprehensible.

I am happy to fight, suffer, and die for that which I choose. I fear not death, but rather I fear the acceptance of a compelled existence that I have no say in, no control over, because another in a position of “power” says I have no rights, no personal agency.

Old men send young men to die. Propaganda is used to stir false patriotism.

The old men get profit and power, the young men are cannon fodder.

There is no glory in being cannon fodder.
