      Sometimes the law is wrong, and following it is wrong

      Dying for nothing in a lost war is one of those times

      Weird way to justify people being forced to fight into something they clearly don’t believe in or have any interest defending.

                  I said that law has nothing to do with morality, and you claimed that is wildly incorrect. So, I gave you a clear example of a law that’s directly at odds with morality. What part of that are you struggling to comprehend there?

                    :S laws can be unmoral as well, yes? What do you not comprehend about laws being based on morality? Most laws, to specify for you so you don’t need to take that turn.

      Let’s not forget that most countries also have constitutions. The citizens constitutional rights cannot be overshadowed by draft. Therefore forcible totalitarian draft is not legal. Here it’s problematic because sovereign legal institutions are non existent in Ukraine and lets admit that in many states legal institutions would crumble when defending citizens rights against violent governments.
