    When was it they found the bodies? Was it the 1960s or 1970s?

    The Japanese landed a Battalion or so on the north coast. No one knew they were there and they all starved to death.

    it still the same, conscientious objector is unpatriotic draft-dodger.

    if army conscription isn't compulsory, I can understood, but come on, your country where you live provides you with most of the things, being egoistic and hiding from the duty is a cowardice.

    looks like I still can't forgot that nationalism-patriotism lectures I got more than 2 years ago... the words still hanging in my memory lobe

    we all know that some fellas who don't want fighting wars will be forced to either accept the draft or "serve" in prison, they "deserve" it. Dodging draft is kinda like tax-evasion, if you demands your rights, you must do your duty.

    I was raised with the ideals of secular humanism. As far as I'm concerned, my refusal to go out and kill another fellow human being is the greatest service for my country, for it was built on the ideals of the Enlightenment.

    Thank you.

    I got a letter notifying me I'll soon reach the draft age, however, we have no active draft anymore, so I won't have to do anything.
