    What about it being mandated makes it unethical?

    Is it the “military” part of it? Cause I think that neither of us are proposing this as a “fight and die” thing.

    If it’s just the mandate in general, would you say taxes are unethical? It’s the government taking a portion of the fruits of your labor for civic gain.

    Is mandatory schooling unethical? It’s the government mandating what you do with your life in large part between the ages of 6 and 17.

    I just fail to see what makes this meaningfully different from any number of things that we already happily accept.
