That unless seems questionable to me.


If the armies are at the gate, and the townsfolk aren't enlisting (as they 
were and did, respectively, in December 1941), then is the state at risk 
worth preserving?

And is it worth a diversion of manpower from the front lines to coerce men 
into the service?

And what is the point of dragging a man to the front lines who doesn't want 
to be there?  Why force volunteers and other draftees to put their life in 
his hands?
