Actually many people were happy to be drafted in WW1 and 2. They volunteered. Women wouldn't date you if they thought you were a coward. People wouldn't hire you.

It was such a problem that people with invisible handicaps (epilepsy, hearth issues, flat feet, etc.) carried around their 4F papers to show that it wasn't their fault they weren't at the front.

Yeah people used to actually be proud of their country, which I think is going to be the most interesting difference with ww3
