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 😅

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.

We have conscription. I did 2 years of National Service in a helicopter squadron and go back every year for at least two weeks.

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

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.

How many of you are prepared to become paid agents of your own country's government? That's what military people are.
exexec · 61-69, C
Yes. I tried. I was in ROTC and then destroyed my knee playing football. The Army rejected me.
Yeahhh if there is a good reason or I’m forced
