If you were forced to (conscription, or national service).

Or voluntarily (as a conscious career choice).

Military are agents of government and since we don't trust governments we would feel uncomfortable about being in the military and it would also be incompatible with our lack of trust in the executive branch of government.

I don't think it's my path tbh. I did consider it when I saw what was happening in Ukraine but I'm like 31 so probably not soldier training material 😅

Yes I tried and wanted to make it a career, but my medical background kept me from joining

No, not military. I did strongly consider joining the peace corp as a young adult. Had there been mandatory national service, I would have gone that route gladly.

I tried when I was 18 and was rejected on due to my health issues. But I would serve in the Dad's Army division if needed.

Yes. I tried. I was in ROTC and then destroyed my knee playing football. The Army rejected me.
