given a choice between a mandatory draft (which may or may not end up 
including you, but certainly would include 10s of thousands of your 
countrymen) and personally volunteering in the hope that enough people would 
do so to make such a draft unnecessary (or at least save one or two unwilling 
people from being drafted), which would you choose?

i have no hidden point to make with that question, it just came up in my head 
when reading your reply.

personally, i'd probably not volunteer unless i felt  there was a great 
urgency, rightness and unavoidability to the conflict (such as your "armies 
lined up at the border" scenario). otherwise i'd probably even resist a 
drafting.
