Making education so expensive that the only way for some to pursue education is to die for their country is a crime. If majority of your citizen view being part of army is only for poor people, your country does not deserve to be protected because obviously not enough people willing to fight for it. Turning your citizens into slaves and sending them into the meat grinder makes you a monster.
You’re right, but the economy forcing people into wage slavery is a separate issue that also needs to be addressed.
It’s not a separate issue. The US was criticized for drafting people so the benefits that come with service became more expensive on their own in order to encourage enlistment.
