Fordm,
Thank you for your contribution.
I guess, what I was trying to get across, ignoring any distractions, is the following:
As a citizen of a country you should be expected to defend your homeland in the event of being attacked.
Therefore, in an existential war, if your government calls you to arms, you report as and when required.
As a consequence no "snatch squad" should be required in the first place, if indeed that's what is happening.
You do not shirk responsibility by absconding.
Yes, no-one wants to be killed, but exceptional circumstances require exceptional responses.
Now, I guess this is a generational issue and I am old school, but I object to today's self-entiteled society that want every privilege but fail to put in.
