A recent decision to restrict consular services for fighting-aged Ukrainian men has made a Ukrainian man in Canada feel less certain of his next steps — and worried he could be pulled back to the war.
I fully support Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion, but holy shit conscription is evil. There’s no way I’d want to see my kids drafted to their deaths.
Makes sense to me. If I were any sort of combat specialist, I’d volunteer. I however wouldn’t be very useful, as they use a different type of reactor to the ones I was trained on.
This is kinda a weird take. War is evil but conscription is a universal aspect of every total war. Every country on earth reserves the right to conscript its citizens in the case of national emergency.

I was surprised to read last week that the average age of the mostly volunteer army up to now is 43.

Dying in a trench seems way more likely under Russian rule.
