> Mandatory military service otherwise known as government mandated slavery
>> It depends if you think of your country as an accessory burden or as the ensemble of your fellows.
This "depends" clause doesn't logically follow, since the "slavery" label applies in either circumstance. If one's country is an "ensemble of your fellows", then volunteering for military service may logically follow from that; forcing others to do so, does not. In either case, whether one feels connected to one's country or not, being compelled by force to participate in the military can legitimately be seen as a form of slavery -- since the victim is unable to withdraw unilaterally from their compelled service.
If one cares deeply about their own countrymen, why would one want to enslave them, and remove their choice and freedom in the matter?
