That is the problem with purely volunteer armies. Amongst others, those who derive pleasure from weapons, from violence, and perhaps from torturing and killing, sign up. Of course, I am still against compulsory military service; in my view, no one should be forced to serve in the armed forces. The armed forces would, however, be less homogeneous as a result, interspersed with people who have normal inhibitions and a conscience... The only solution is, and always will be, to consistently ban armaments and the military. There must be a binding obligation to non-violence, worldwide… I see no sign whatsoever – absolutely none – of any willingness to do this. Okay, actually there is. There are countries that do without their own military. Some place themselves under the protectorate of others, but some manage just fine on their own. We should follow their example.
