Stonebreaker isn't saying that the cost of sponsoring public service is too much for him. He's saying that the cost of keeping tabs on 4,000,000...
I put "conscription" in quotes. If there were a mandatory service requirement that could be completed through the Navy, then it would be...
stonebreaker- BillyDoc isn't saying that military service would be the only way. I think that, like me, he is thinking more along the lines of...
