Interesting, but not really relevant to the point of the article.

It is very relevant, the whole questionare is about "National Service". They are tricking people into supporting slavery!

> National service is the system of compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Conscription is mandatory national service. The term national service comes from the United Kingdom's National Service Act 1939.

No they're not. They demonstrating how unethical surveys can, if portrayed improperly can appear to show different results. There is a difference between fiction and reality.

You're missing the whole point of the post. The merits of National Service are not under debate and are thus irrelevant.

I'm pretty sure you're trying to caricature a type of people, but when you're this blatant about it you basically become a caricature of yourself.
