Men could be drafted at that age, and yes men were drafted during WWI (1917).
-Also known as the Selective Service Act.
Military draft is mandatory service in a country's military. In the short of it a military draft is when a group of citizens (usually males, 18 years or older) are called upon to serve they're country in a time of war. What this means is that basically the country that is drafting you (the one your a citizen of) is forcing you to join the military. one example is during the Vietnam war most male citizens between the age of 18 and 45 were forced to join the military, if they refused they would either be put on jail or deported, some left the country, fleeing to Canada and other countries. other places such as Israel there is a mandatory service requirement for all in-country citizens for men and women when they turn 18. This means if you live in Israel and are a citizen when you turn 18 you are forced to join the military.
Canada began conscription in 1916-1917, since volunteers declined severely. This was unsucessful, since the French opposed this greatly and everyone else didn't want to be forced into it. the governemtn had no way to ensure all the registered men would actually go to the trainning so 20 000 instead of 400 000 men showed up.
So many men joined up in 1914 because they thought the war would be over by Christmas so they didn't want to miss out on the "fun".
Impressment is when the people were taken from one ship and made to work on another. This has also happened in history when men were forced to join the military. As far as the British in the 1800's, they would stop American merchant ships and basically kidnap men from their ship then take them and make them work on the British ships. They did this to replinish their crews and ended up being one of the final straws that led to the war of 1812.
Men in the military felt worried because their slaves help them.
News from the war front was depressing with the casualty rate increasing by the week. Wounded soldiers who returned home told stories of horrible conditions in the trenches as well as the large loss of life due to suicide tactics being employed by the military leadership. This caused some men to not want to join the war in 1917.
NRMA men were soldiers/people/men who were FORCED to join the war, and they were called "zombies" in Canada and overseas
Men (that are not military) were forced to go to war only when conscription was ruled in parliament.

It is most critical for our military to have, Men and women can both serve their country in each branch of the military.

Men and women alike can join the Norwegian Military. However, the Norwegian Military does have a mandatory military service for men which has been described as being weak.

Men simply did not refuse to join the military in ancient Greece. If they did, they would likely have been put to death or exiled.
Required men to register with the govt. for a draft, in order to be randomly selected for military service. May, 1917
