    It’s of course your right to think and say that.

    That said, protecting a country is not the same as your loved ones. You can do that with a gun sitting at your window. Also it strongly depends on why you are supposed to defend it.

    Because honestly, protecting nazi germany was one’s duty at the time. I would have shot myself before i’d have done that.

    It is incredibly important to not pass rash judgement but think about the implications beforehand.

    Also some food for thought: you see killing as a must for living in a country. Maybe ask yourself why you think that. What good does it do to kill other people? The vast majority of lost life in battles in the last 50 years wasnt in justified wars but to protect capital interests. Maybe lets not die for money?

      I have asked myself this. Now you should ask yourself if you would wish to submit to Russian rule as a Ukrainian.
