I don’t think the mere avoidance of military service inherently makes someone a good person, though. It’s not as though we uphold Donald Trump’s draft avoidance as a virtue, for example.
I try to be a good person where I can. However, the mere circumstances of my life and the social system I grew up in, and which I remain complicit in, will certainly disqualify me from being considered a good person under someone else’s standards. I regret that, but I also accept it.
I’m just trying to eke out a sufficiently stable life for myself in the remaining time I have on Earth, during a moment in time where that is becoming less and less viable or ethical to do.
