    How about WWII? Should the allies have been significantly weaker and prolonged how long the Nazis were in power to avoid a draft?

      The possible benefits of something unethical doesn’t justify doing it.

        I’d hold a lesser of two evils justify it. The government already dictates what you need to do. Is it the commanded act of killing people that you think takes it too far?

          a lesser of two evils justufies it

          Again, no it doesnt.

          the government already dictates what you need to do

          what? no?

          is the command act of killing people that you think takes it too far?

          any forced labor takes it too far.

            They force jury duty, taxes, traffic laws, and sometimes public service or jail time. Those are all forced labor.

              The difference is that the need for a jury of your peers is in the constitution.

              Traffic laws are not forced labor. Nor is jail time, that’s a punishment.

              I’m starting to think you have no idea what you’re talking about.

                They dictate what you do and don’t do. Taxes take a portion of your time as well since you need to work longer. I didn’t see how it’s categorically different. Just a difference of extent.

                  Yes and that extent is an issue, especially when it goes over the line of what’s allowed in the constitution.

                    So if a country wrote conscription into their constitution it’d be fine?
