Prior to the 21st century, men were conscripted into the military. When a government commenced a war somewhere at sometime, that military was used. If the men, who comprised the military, did not comply, they were either executed (killed) or imprisoned. The military was the military. Orders were orders. Follow them or pay the price. That was prior to the 21st century.
