Nah, dude, logically it ain't. Not the same thing. Not close.
If you want someone else to do thing A, then you must be willing to do thing A as well.
Thats the resoning you are using, and in our specialized society it is wrong.
I expect firefighters to put our fires, I expect police officers to capture criminals, I expect soldiers to fight i wars that the government tells them to fight in. All of these things have people risking thier lives, and all of them are things expected of others, where I do not have to do the same thing they do.
You are trying to compare standard domestic law enforcement and firefighting to sending troops on a war campaign. It's apples and oranges, a square peg in a round hole, etc. Not the same. Your line of logic does not fit.
Logically it fits fine. you are the one adding caveats and exceptions.
Again all this goes away in time of draft, but until then, there is nothing morally wrong from beleving a war is just and not serving, for whatever reason.
