Wait till you learn about places with conscription.
That is hell. Living in a country with mandatory conscription, I do a lot of legal work never to get there.
I am civilian. Fuck everyone who thinks they can force me to be any else.
I get it for countries where their self-preservation is on the line (Taiwan) or where it's simply been national policy since the dawn of time (Switzerland), but it's definitely different when it's for a dictatorial, unpopular, or corrupt government.
If people want a national defense they should pay for one. Not force 18 year old guys to be slave soldiers as a cheaper alternative.
