The three men who formed the informal thre-men alliance in 60 BC which has been called the First triumvirate by historians were Julius caesar Crassus and Pompey the Great . At that time Ceasar was not a military commander.
Initially, they joined out of a sense of patriotic duty. Later, public opinion (accusations of cowardice and so on) drove many to volunteer. Later still, when even that didn't produce enough men, parliament introduced conscription (compulsory military service). These men are extreamly brave to stand up and risk their lives for our country. PLEASE DONATE TO HELP FOR HEROES. This is a real charity.
Many young men joined the military at the onset of the First World War to live out romantic dreams of glory and adventure. This is still a significant reason for enlistment in the military today.

Women in Britain, Canada and America took over many jobs that men had done. Working in factories, building ships,tanks and aircraft, working on farms, driving ambulances and trucks, and many other jobs where men had joined the military.
Men who joined the war, particularly during World War I and World War II, typically ranged in age from late teens to their mid-twenties, with many enlisting around 18 years old. Draft laws often required men to serve once they reached a certain age, usually starting at 18. However, some older individuals also volunteered or were conscripted, depending on the needs of the military and the duration of the conflict.

Women were needed because so many men were in the military.
A small percentage of men drafted actually joined.
Men received white feathers during World War I as a symbol of cowardice from those who believed they were avoiding military service. The feathers were often given to men who were not in uniform, serving as a public shaming tactic to pressure them into enlisting. This practice highlighted the societal stigma surrounding military service and the intense peer pressure to participate in the war effort.
Women were, and are never DRAFTED. only men.
