No, you aren't just paying for the army. You are enslaving a large part of it. And the slavery is wrong. Maybe it's a necessary evil, but still acknowledge it as evil.
An army is an army, voluntary or not it makes no difference. What matters is whether it is effective. And we Poles have neither the time nor the inclination for ideological drunkenness.
That's still slavery. All I'm asking you to do is acknowledge the necessary evil as the evil it is, and not play the name game, pretending that it isn't.
Well, then I will answer yes.
This is idiotic and shows that you are a
libertarian fanatic ready to consider ideological principles more important than saving the fatherland.
In the PLC, the people who did that led the country to collapse, thus both freedom and the possibility of defending it disappeared. And for the next 123 years we tried to reverse this. With various results, often painful for us.
We, on the basis of this and the following experience of subsequent ideological cretinism, decided that it was more important to defend the home in order to thus have what we love most, freedom.
But in doing so, we understood one important thing. Everything has its limits, even freedom. Freedom without limits, turns into arbitrariness and this leads us to our downfall.
So if we must have an army of 'slaves' but be free then we are able to pay these prices. An ideology, even the greatest (because it is one's own), is not worth losing the homeland, because then you lose both the ideology and the homeland to keep it alive.
That is our conclusion, if you want to be smarter then please do. Do so and you will see why a nation like the Poles whose freedom used to be libertarian today is not.
