If someone comes to invade Australia I will gladly defend my country. But don't tell me that I should be compelled to participate in wars of economic and political imperialism.

I'm not going to die so the rich can get richer or to satisfy the whim of a warmongering leader that I wouldn't have voted for in the first place. My life is worth more than that.

Freedom is all about choice. If a nation isn't worth defending then nobody will step forward to defend it. If it is, they will. It's that simple.
