A society that wouldn't send/draft people to war is one that doesn't care about it's existence.

What about a society that cares so much about its own existence that people volunteer?

At least that way the people affected get to decide what happens rather than being tools in some pointless political dick waving contest.

I'm very much against war but if there was impending danger locally I would sign up to sit near the beach and shoot down any danger coming my way.
