RE: Isn't the "social contract" a little bit overdue? And who agreed to it in the first place?

Ofc they could refuse, they did not have to join the army in the first place... it wasn't mandatory. In soviet union it was and you had no option.

I think you are mistaken. Read this:

Can't find where it's said mandatory :)
Please quote to me

'Conscientious objectors in articular were frequently convicted of Wehrkraftzersetzung in addition to other charges.'
The term 'Conscientious objectors' is the giveaway.
