Yes, but they didn't join up to fight other people's religious wars. People join up for many reasons, but I don't suppose many, if any, said they joined up to go risk their necks in Afghanistan or Iraq. And if people didn't join up, national service would be introduced and all young men would be required to do their bit and put their necks on the line! It isn't our war and it isn't our responsibility to police the world and risk our soldiers all the time.
