Do Jehovah's Witnesses Deserve to Benefit From the Freedoms Others Have Paid For?

My hope was that people would answer the question IN my post:

"My question, put as simply as I can: Is it ethical to benefit from the sacrifices of others on your behalf when one refuses to do the same for them?"

which honed the question in the title.

Is it ethical to benefit from the sacrifices of police officers if one refuses to be a police officer themself?

Is it ethical to benefit from donated blood if you refuse to donate blood yourself?

Is it ethical to benefit from the sacrifices of fire fighters if one refuses to be a fire fighter as well?

In America people are allowed the freedom to practice whatever religion they like, as long as it isn't hurting anyone. JW's are pacifists, there are much worse things to be than a pacifist and they still support the military with their tax money anyway. If they were forced to fight even though it's against their religion than what would American troops be fighting to defend? Not freedom.
