Men enlisted in World War I for various reasons, including a sense of duty and patriotism, the desire to defend their homeland, and the influence of nationalistic fervor. Economic factors also played a role, as some sought stable employment or adventure. Additionally, social pressures, such as the expectation to serve and the glorification of military service, motivated many to join the fight.

At the beginning of World War Two (and before) men willingly enlisted. The government put the draft in place eventually. The draft weeded out those who were not eligible to serve and those who could. Men continued to enlist willingly though. Some young men who were only 17 uncommonly and fraudulently enlisted too by telling the recruiters they were 18 and often showed false papers.
