      Hm, I see how their comment can be interpreted that way, and it definitely makes more sense like that. They worded it extremely poorly tho, and thus is left pretty ambiguous. I think it would have been much more clear if they just spelled out “conscription” again instead of resorting to the pronoun.

      That said, since I do agree with your interpretation I will edit my comment to reflect that

      Correct, thanks. I guess I could’ve phrased it better but it was worth it for that dudes completely unhinged reply.
