    Hahahaha, I enjoyed this one a little too much; laughing in a waiting room full of people isn't professional. xD

    I don’t think we should stigmatize those who have not been members of a military service.

    There are requirements for those who may serve and physical, mental, or other limitations may also be responsible for some not serving.

    Almost everyone here is at least an arm chair commander.

    If someone has not been a member of an armed force I am sure we can assume there are extenuating circumstances.

    Besides, it is difficult enough to keep people motivated who want to be there without dragging in those who don’t.

    and conceals from the stupid,

    Draft is suspended over here (not abolished). In theory I could be called on, but then I'd probably fail the physical requirements test given my poor eyesight.

    I live on an island twice the size of India, a lot of which is desert. Try invading that, regardless of the size of our standing army.
