BF2S Forums Welfare: obligations of the state, and obligations of the citizen.

Never thought of it from the defence perspective actually, given that I live in a militarily neutral country. I would always say that welfare should have strings attached and the possibility of getting drafted would count as 'a pretty big string'. It's a good point. If someone disagrees with the concept of social welfare then maybe they shouldn't expect those on welfare to 'come out fighting' in a time of need.
