> I'd be surprised if there was a "huge opposition" in Switzerland or Israel

That is reason why women got voting rights in 1970 in Switzerland, they were worried about conscription.

Israel has a huge orthodox religious community that opposes conscription. Army is just for liberal idiots!

Not sure how that translates into "a huge opposition to conscription on ethical grounds"?

They're 13%, is that right? Is 13% "huge"?

And do they oppose it for everyone on ethical grounds? Or just for themselves, while they'll happily let the rest take care of the national defense using conscription?

I am not going to talk about Switzerland.

Orthodox in Israel are excluded from military service. But there are settlers... Ethical my bum.. also there are like 20% Arabs... You should really spend some time in there, crazy country.
