You’re the one who bought in the length of time a concept has been around into a conversation about somethings morality, not me.
Dunno why your getting so angry about it, I just think forcing people into the military is wrong, even if you disagree and think its justifiable it’s not crazy enough to justify you trying to ad hom me.
Also quite a weird/dangerous precedent to set that a country can defend itself however it sees fit and other people (especially if they’re PrOgGrEsSiVe) can’t criticise that)
Im not angry. I just think you are being a little judgmental, TBH, about how certain cultures different than yours view service, especially South Korea since they have a legitimate need for an immediate, strong defense. And you keep bandying about those words backwards and progressive but Scandinavia, which probably has the most progressive liberal democracies in the world has mandatory service, so maybe it doesnt fit as neatly into the backwards-progressive spectrum as you imagine.
