How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

We don't have a way to do this. I don't think we ever will. Wish the answer was different.

The one thing I will say is that logical argument is extremely ineffective for changing people's views. Personal, emotional stories are best. The issue is that war and the draft is already highly emotionally charged, so it's gonna be hard to find something that will strike a nerve with someone who hasn't already come around on it.
