    Feeling you have no other option (despite a lot of other jobs being on offer) and totally not having any other option (because they’ll put you in jail for not paying taxes) are two completely different things.

    With all due respect, but there is no reason to join the army unless they force you to. Even when Germany still had mandatory military service and they wanted to draft me in 1997, I opted to wipe old peoples’ butts in an old people’s home instead because that was the only way out. Don’t you dare tell me there is no other option.
