I am a pacifist, so refused and did civilian service instead.

An army? And to defend from who? Biggest world systems invest so much in the army that it's pointless.. Army is just for showing off, real power lies in... teaching guitar? Or whatever people are good at. I can imagine Britain choosing not to have an army in the 60ties, flower power, and piece being important topics
 All jokes aside, there was national army in the past, but now it's privatized. There are still remains of the old army and social system here that is clumsy to some extent, but accepting the changes. The problem was that the army was costing the state too much.

But I didn't even have to go to the test and phhysical exam, because my eyesight is really bad without lenses/glasses. I really didn't know, that most countries in Europe does not have conscription: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_service I don't know why we have it here, seems there are a lot people willing to join. The vast majority of my friends did not serve. --------------------  |

here in Colombia it is mandatory, but I was lucky to never go, I'm a pacifist too and I believe armies exist because of fear, so I think we should eliminate fear first,
I didn't there was such a thing as civilian service! That's my idea you stole it  That's so great! I would be happy to do that -------------------- Visit my:

Here in the States we don't really have anything like that. They do tend to send recruiters out to the the High Schools and Colleges to try and get people interested in joining up. I got several offers to join during my High school years, due to scoring very high on some aptitude tests for that sort of thing. I ended up not going, since I had a Kidney Transplant, and their physical requirements didn't allow that. I'm kind of like Gitarrero then, since due to health issues I went straight from High School to College
