WW3 conscription

[Petertherabbit]

Personally, I would worry about "the flower of our youth" to coin a phrase from WW1 being squandered on a killing field in easter Europe.
Because of demographics, we can prescious afford to lose our youth and what and who, will replace them ?
Imagine women living in a city, knowing that their son's and brothers were going to war, whilst their "neighbours" sons and brothers, cousins, second cousins and others were staying home.
Would those women feel safe ? What would they write to their men at the front line and how would those men feel, getting those letters ?
