Thousands of youngsters have joined the army since October 7 — and it is illegal to refuse. Sofia Orr is likely to become the first woman since then to be jailed for refusing military service, but believes it is ‘wrong to take children and make them into soldiers’

    You largely can choose the provider of this service,

    Really? I’m from the Middle East, took me fucking ages to “change the provider”.

    If you’re in a country with compulsory military service, make yourself interesting for other countries and leave.

    Literally not an option for 99% of people.

      Yes, most people are not interesting. True for Emi/Imi-gration as well as dating. And in both cases it’s tough to hear.

        … so this isn’t really a viable solution.
