Is forced army recruitment for men in Ukraine wrong or good ?

[EinGeheimkonto]

If Ukraine wants to win the war, I don't think they really have a choice. They need all the manpower they can get.

Most countries will go to a draft when they need extra people at the front lines. The US did the same back in 'Nam.

I personally think that it is sad but what are your thoughts ?

It's a country at war, under attack by a foreign army.

(forced) mobilization is pretty standard in such a case.

Good, bad...... war is bad, full stop.
But it's not like they have a choice, do they?
This war was forced upon them and the reality is that they need soldiers to defend themselves.
What country would not mobilize young men to fight and defend the country when invaded by an aggressor if and when the existing military personal is insufficient?


Perhaps a more appropriate question is to ask if Russia is in the wrong or not to mobilize young men to go fight a war of aggression?
