How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

So if you have an immoveable stance against war, isn't it just as likely someone out there believes they have a similarly immovable stance in favor of the draft?

Yeah, and that person, unlike me, is evil, because they are able to see human lives as pawns in a political game.

Uh, just to be clear, I'm not actually trying to sway you. Just pointing out to OP, and to you I guess since you're engaging, that when someone holds an "immoveable stance" as they themselves say, and aren't open to changing their views, it is highly unlikely one can convince them to change. Like, someone could up to you and say you're wrong and evil for your views but that probably isn't going to convince you, right?
