"he who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake; for him, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this.

28. The Supreme Being isn't for Senseless Brutality! 29. Nations don't even exist. They're fictional constructs, an error of history. If I were anywhere else, I'd be a citizen of there, instead.

Going to prison for being smarter than Einstein is stupid, too. 30. Fighting for freedom isn't a free choice if you'll be locked up for not fighting by the very country you'd supposedly be fighting for!! Forcing me to fight automatically voids the social contract (that doesn't even exist, in the first place!). Conscription itself should be a crime. Just like killing foreigners, strangers, already is.
