Wow there Are a lot of assholes on this thread. Someone is not a "coward" or a "quitter" just because they leave or don't join the military. I could call anyone that for not understanding nuclear physics. Imagine being forced to suddenly work as an Analytical Chemist. Most of you probably have no -blam!-ing clue how to do any of the stuff they do. You aren't going to know anything about it. Now imagine you get paid on your performance in that job. If you don't do well, you won't get any money. (This is a hypothetical situation for an analogy, remember that) if you don't get any money, you can't feed yourself and die. You will almost certainly quit. So if someone is drafted into the military, where if they screw up they will probably die, why the fūck shouldn't they quit if they don't want to fight?
