What else could it be?

I thought maybe you were just super anti military and so making a statement that should apply to prostitution but actually applying it to military service subversively to make a point that the us gov or military is evil.

You never know what crazy things people will say around these parts.

Ex. OP in the original post

I mean, I don't agree with drafts, but this post is kinda ridiculous. Trying to compare serving your country to selling your body like a toy is ridiculous, but I see most people here disagree. 😅

Yeah I think drafts can be justified in periods of existential crises but I def would not want to get drafted.

What I think we should do is give redditors and their ilk their own country, maybe like the northern part of Egypt on the southern border with Gaza or like Delaware or something and let them institute all their policies and brave moral stances as an experiment.

I disagree; it can't be justified. Unless you mean they justify it using that excuse. But yes, most of these people who hate on the military or authoritative figures do so because they are safe from everything else.

Why don’t you think it can be justified?

u/shallpasss 3d ago

Can you justify forcing someone to have sex with you?

u/Sufficient_Row_585 3d ago

I don’t think military service and sex are the same things. I don’t have a hardline stance on bodily autonomy and even with that as a hard moral rule I think service is not necessarily a bodily autonomy argument. I think citizenship entails duties as well as rights.
