The survey by the Centre for Social Investment Studies (CENSIS) showed 39% of Italians aged between 18 and 45 would declare themselves as pacifist conscientious objectors, 19% would try to evade conscription another way, and 26% would prefer Italy to hire foreign mercenaries.

    I’d rather migrate to another country than to risk my life and the ones I love for a pointless war driven by maniac idiots.

      Me too. But sometimes I am also wondering what then. Sooner or later the maniac idiots will come to the other country as well and maybe it’s better to fight them before they get even stronger.

        Maybe. But for a foreseeable lifetime this wouldn’t be my problem and not worth risking my life. Life is way too precious to throw it away so easily by becoming a cog in the war machine.

      Does that include your country being invaded? Does “a pointless war driven by maniac idiots” include defense from invasion?
