Its complete silliness of course...but consider the source....In our society our military service is now AVF. When you sign up you take your chances..... Also, I saw no such grousing from pinheads like GST when Clinton, who affirmatively evaded service, lied to his draft board and protested overseas sent our men into harm's way in numerous places around the globe..... The pinhead hypocrisy and dishonesty is breathtaking.....

You attempt an absurd comparison. We have never had to draft firemen or police officers -- but to mount misguided wars, people have been forced into the military. In the US there are people who see the military as a way to receive benefits, but who did not expect to be sent to war. Surprise. Many of them will die, fighting a war that was entered recklessly and prosecuted with incompetence. It seems unlikely that many people decide to be firemen and then find to their surprise that they are expected to fight fires.
