I am very serious.

Society has changed considerably since ancient times except for
the fact that people still assume the role of pawns.

If all were required to serve, then maybe, finally, people would
rise up and refuse to bow to the whims of the small cliques that
rule nations.

In communist countries it is quite true that only a small elite
determines the destiny of hundreds of millions.  It is essentially
the same, although cloaked by a thin veil of egalitarian principles,
within democratic societies.

If my government comes to me and demands my service, I will tell
them to kiss my ass.  If everyone did the same, then all war would
come to an end.
