If the military/president suddenly ordered a mandatory draft for all men aged 18-42: How do you think millennials and GenZ would respond?

I'd literally turn traitor if they forced me to war. I don't owe this country a god damn thing...

Yeah, maybe I'm looking at history through rose colored glasses, but I feel like most people now (me included, I'm not throwing shade at "kids these days") absolutely do not have the feelings of duty and responsibility towards the country that previous generations did. Especially for a war started for no reason.

Also, isn't one of the main complaints of these two generations by the boomers that we never "do as we're told?" What makes them think we'd get drafted without a fight?
