My thoughts exactly. You put me on the front line and my general commander is getting a bullet. Not saying I'll remember doing it but nobody dies except those that force me to kill.
Saying you don't "remember" doing it is probably not going to help much in your court-martial when you've posted a pre-meditated plan to do it on an open social media platform beforehand.
Who tf cares lmfao.
You've been warned global military

I would rather die than kill. If you tell me to kill I will kill you first to limit the amount of total death.
This is the ultimate utilitarian take on the ethics of the situation you dunce.
You say you'd rather die than kill, and then in the very next line you threaten to kill me for telling you something.
You need to read up on what being a "conscientious objector" is actually about, or whatever it is you're going for here, because your philosophy is incoherent.
Believe it or not, this would completely cripple military power across the board. Overall, resulting in less death than the death of the white collar pencil pushers that command troops.
Sure you can be the bootlicker that shoots people for funsies, don't come crying to me when you get drafted
Edit: where tf did I threaten you specifically?..
You said:
Even if you just mean it as a "generic" you, you're still making it quite clear that you're more willing to kill than you are to die.
You realize there are other options than "follow orders to kill someone" and "kill the guy who gave you an order", right?
I'm Canadian.
Definitely generic "you." But if you plan on leading troops we can make it happen?
Edit: Honestly cute you think Canada wouldn't follow USA into the next great drafted war
So right after saying you didn't threaten me personally, you expand your threat to cover me personally.
I'm happy your reading comprehension got that finally :)
