You know, back in the war time when people still felt patriotic and trusted their government they would have gone along with this out of a sense of duty and maybe even felt pride in it. The fact that we now feel a sense of injustice at the idea shows how far the our trust in our 'rulers' has fallen. When they stopped caring for the people, the people began to stop caring for the nation and started losing trust in general.

I think keeping quiet about what the extent of your skills are and keeping a low profile would be one thing to do. Stay off their radar.
