A lot of keyboard warriors that like to belive they would gladly fight and die for the glory of their country if the time came, but are so far removed from the realities of war, that when they think of war they think of movies and video games, not watching your freinds get blown into chunks by an artillery shell or rocket while you’re making an MRE in your trench.
You can’t seriously be equating the moral shortcomings of taking a bribe to the complete immorality of imposing a draft on others and forcing them to march towards near certain death
I definitely can. It would be a completely different topic in russia where they draft people to sustain occupation. If Ukraine stopped defending now, you’d have Buchas and Mariupols all over Ukraine with many dead. So I don’t really see it as immoral as much as it sucks for everyone involved.
Compared to that, taking bribes from desperate people is next level fucked up and it’s effectively profiteering on genocide.
Dude, Ukraine was invaded. The last time the US has had to use a draft for circumstances like this was the Civil War, and everyone now thinks it was warranted then.
You won’t find a single country on this planet that wouldn’t draft their citizens in a wartime situation while you’re running out of soldiers. Not a single one.
Running out of soldiers? I thought the Russians were a bunch of morons who can’t do anything and the Ukrainians were beating their asses in their sleep? Why would they need more soldiers?
A real crime here is the draft. And before the tankies start circling this post, it applies to russia as well.
I usually dislike picking hairs of evil when the alternative solution was getting annexed back into a cultural meat grinder
Downvotes for a comment pointing out that forcing people to fight and die is fucked up? Okay, people…

Calling it a crime is fucked up. Especially in a thread where actual crime (taking bribes) is discussed.

Didn’t teach history in your school?

You missed the “for circumstances like this” part. There were certainly other uses of the draft for other circumstances that are looked at poorly.
WWI and WWII didn’t have a direct US invasion, and we’re also looked at positively, but is out of the scope of the discussion.

And it would still be fucked up in every single one of those countries.

Pretty sure only you thought that
Guess you weren’t paying attention to all the posts laughing about how the Russian military is so incompetent.
Regular draft is unacceptable. But this is not a regular draft.
