The ANZACs, or Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, did not have a true choice in whether to go to war, as the enlistment was largely driven by a sense of duty and patriotism during World War I. Many young men felt compelled to join due to societal pressure, national pride, and the belief in supporting the British Empire. While technically enlistment was voluntary, the cultural and social expectations of the time made it difficult for individuals to opt out without facing stigma or criticism.
That's called politics. Fighting men (Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Soldiers) have no choice in the matter. They just get drafted, go to war, do their job, then go home.
Military officers go where they are ordered. They don't have a choice in the matter, to disobey can be considered treason.
Whether or not an individual has a choice about going to war often depends on various factors, including their country's laws, military policies, and personal circumstances. In some nations, conscription or mandatory military service can limit personal choice, while in others, individuals may enlist voluntarily or choose alternative paths. Additionally, personal beliefs, values, and the socio-political context can influence one's decision to participate in or oppose war. Ultimately, the degree of choice varies widely based on these factors.
no not at all it was a great choice
Well it all depends on what war. if it is world war 2 we declared war because the Japanese bombers attacked us. in the civil war Abe didn't want the slavery to go into the Union so the only choice was to fight to end it. in other cases we were ether attached or we attacked them for our allies
Adolf Hitler made all these decisions for Germany 1933-1945. It was his choice to go to war. The people of Germany generally supported his decision.
society viewed men as cowards and shamed them if they didnt go to war. Usually, they will be forced or drafted into the war and didnt really have a choice.
Yes, during WW1 and WW2, there was no conscriprtion (compulsory military service). Soldiers went to war by choice. But in the Vietnam war, conscription was introduce in Australia and the soldiers were forced for the Vietnam war to go and fight.

They tried to get people to go to war, even though they were not fond of it. It started to go against the ideas of freedom of choice when people were forced to go.

the draftwas then started and the people didnot have a choice they had to go
It was not your choice to pick if you wanted to got to war or not. It was not optional you had to go. Unless you had a valid reason for not going like lets say you are too old and ill to go to war you would make weapons or work in a factory any way you would still be contributing some work for war.
You can go to a local charity that gives things to the war of your choice and donate things like prepaid phone cards, clothes, canned goods, etc.
