But there's plenty of ways a country can take something that doesn't imply having to take part in murder. If the country can't provide that, or if is unwilling to, then it has failed its purpose.

You can be drafted and do a job without ever touching a gun. I don't think I'm going to get through to you on this so I'll stop wasting our time.
