Well, that’s why there is a draft - because people don’t want to get killed. Although, I have read historians who feel that young people, isolated and bored with farm life were very keen to go to war for their state. Certainly, that’s one of the themes of GWTW.
I am not a pacifist and I certainly believe in going to war when it is necessary, but I have come to realize that a lot of wars are not necessary and shouldn't be fought. World War I for example was just a bunch of Ego's getting bruised.
I ponder the great Christmas peace that broke out during World War I, and it made me realize just how the social/legal pecking order leads to thousands getting killed against their will, and sometimes for no good national interest.

Till they get in one, and then realize it is horrible and sucks.
