I am honestly not sure about that. People REALLY resisted WW1 here, and in Europe the younger generation was prepared from a young age to want to die to prove themselves, which is why boy scouts was created for instance. Even then there was this serious dissonance which came to a head when those more liberalized boys got sent to the trenches cause their grandpas wanted them to die so his dick could get hard again after having not fought in a conventional war himself, and ended up being faced with death and having to kill.
