The point is it's physically impossible that all war supporters could enlist.

That doesn't explain why you didn't enlist.

I don't even know how you feel about the war; perhaps you despise it. Perhaps you're a Quaker. Perhaps you're 75 years old. Perhaps you're missing a leg. I don't know your personal situation, and I don't care. Your reasons are your own, and they're no business of mine. I don't have any interest in hearing why you're not fighting.

But if you support it, I'm of the opinion you have to think long and hard about your support if you're not there too. And after you think long and hard, I don't know how you can come to any conclusion other than something involving hypocrisy, because I can't think of a way to square support for the war with an unwillingness to fight it.
