Interesting, but not really relevant to the point of the article.

It is very relevant, the whole questionare is about "National Service". They are tricking people into supporting slavery!

> National service is the system of compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Conscription is mandatory national service. The term national service comes from the United Kingdom's National Service Act 1939.

It is a well agreed upon concept that the people living in a society can be forced to take part in the defense of it.

This is not very different from being forced to pay taxes.

It is also well known that a defense force composed of volunteers performs better than one composed of conscripts, and it is well known that performing conscription tends to make the populace unhappy.

How well was this agreed upon, what form was the agreement in, and when was the last time it was conducted, because I've never been asked about it even once.

This mystery applies to most everything, not just conscription.

War after war shows us that plenty of people die for their country, usually in return for pay and freedom from prison...

Yes, like become "voluntary" slave, or we put you into prison! US still requires men to sign up for selective service, or else they will not even get a driving licence!
