I don't get that at all.
I have no problem with a professional soldier getting killed or injured. Its their job. I once toyed with the idea of becoming a soldier. Its has a certain patriotic appeal, to serve your country. You join up, you run the risk.
A conscript has no choice. They get thrust into abyssmal conditions and shot at. They watch their friends die, and get shot or blown up themselves. And they have no choice in it. Either they do it, or they get gaoled.
Where is the liberty and freedom in that?
