I wouldn't go. Fighting China isn't something I care about, Taiwan is a shithole feminist country that can't get any worse.

At risk of a Rule 2 here, but the idea of a hostile pro-woman government bringing the draft back reminds me of the Gulag Archipelago.

What would things have been like if every security operative, when (s)he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether (s)he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his/her family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.
