It’s better to ensure future growth and development in the country by allowing people currently involved in higher education to at least finish their education, since those people are the ones who will go on to create new jobs and fill high-skill ones. I don’t know about you, but if all the future doctors and surgeons had to go to war, I wouldn’t feel very safe. The thought that I could have a heart attack in 10 years and there not be a doctor in the area simply because there aren’t many of them left is a scary one.

To be completely honest, most underprivleged kids don’t become any more than laborers of a sort. It’s sad, but true; there will always be a lot more people who can become carpenters or grocery store clerks than can become engineers and doctors.

And finally, don’t sign up for anything military-related if you don’t want to fight. There’s always the chance someone will declare war and you’ll be shipped off to some random country. Anyone enlisting should be aware of that risk and therefore shouldn’t act like they can’t be sent overseas.
