When people say all men should fight in the war...

It's like saying that if your country was struck by a horrendous tsunami, all men should rush in the direction of the thunami to try to save as many people as possible, despite having zero qualifications or knowledge about tsunamis, and those who run away from the tsunami are cowards who should forever suffer from survivor's guilt.

It is not a crime to literally survive, when disaster strikes.

Modern warfare is fought with drones, not men.

Terrorist campaigns do not follow any military rules.

Money spent on counterterrorist activities and defence shields is well spent.

In England we have an excellent counterterrorist organisation, but no defence shield. Far more drones are needed.

Make up your own mind about nuclear weapons. Personally I think they are needed as a defence mechanism.

Warfare involving troops belongs to another age.
