Wow ... that's a lot to digest joe and I have a full day so I'll just take the top of your list and try to get back to you on the others later.

"What if he has a change of conscience and no longer wants to fight for the big boss? "

I have expressed my opinion in the past that we should consider inalienable rights in the same light that we consider the rest of our constitution. Conscientious objector status has long been recognised but is a difficult position to qualify under our current perspective on the issue. IMO we have evolved as a society and should be open to reconsideration of these points. For example:

'No person shall be required to violate an issue of personal conscience in the performance of public or private service to another.'

Imposing the will of the group on one's freedom to live according to one's conscience has no place. Freedom of conscience maintains the delicate balance between responsibility for the care of one's fellows and the freedom from oppression by one's fellows that we should all seek individually and on behalf of one another.

Any violation of this principle is a violation of Peace, Justice and the Liberty to live as a noble human being. Any such violation must be opposed, beginning at your heart and continuing by word and deed as necessary, lest you forgo your membership as noble human being, and deservedly become one of the forlorn and oppressed.
