If society believed it was immoral to start a war unless you're personally exposed to the risks of warfare then there would be outrage every time it happened.

In my opinion any politician calling for war needs needs to at least have a family member fighting in real combat. If I find out they don't then I will happily vote against them, even if it means voting against my ideology.

What if it's a family member they don't like?

That would not work because it would work only after the fact. You want to prevent this kind of things from happening BEFORE they are even elected.

That's true but if it's an expectation we all have and violating it comes with social consequences then they will at least think twice before doing it
