    Irrelevant.

    I do not discuss the price of butter when I decide to buy a salami or not. Just stay on topic.

    And I already showed that I'm not the first to monetarise the human costs, for the whole basis of conscription requires a "pro" side - National Security- which is not monetarised either.
    On top of that, my first post explains enough to show that monetarising the human costs is not necessary for a conclusion.

    Just read it again till you get what I meant, for I was really as clear as I could.

    OK. Sure. Whatever. The "keep-reading-what-I-stated-because-it-was-clear-and-self-evident-until-you-agree-with-me" line is not an argument. Thanks for playing though!

    Sure it's no argument. Why should I keep providing new ones before you understand my original, central argument?

    Arguments are meant to be weighed against each other. Makes no sense to dust off the scale before you know what to put on it.
