Will they recruit the troops from the ranks of the masters, or A.M. I too old to serve?

Such as Myanmar? The government of Myanmar is currently killing, raping, torturing, and taking their land in the western part of Rakhine state by deploying the military to wipe them out.
https://reliefweb.int/report/myanmar/documentation-atrocities-northern-rakhine-statehttps://www.rte.ie/news/2018/0925/995895-rohingya/War ... been there done that. It’s not glamorous. I would not wish it on anyone.
I would literally jump at the chance to defend my homeland if needed. There are to many millennial snowflakes which don't do it themselves so it is left to people like me. I would start the attack by getting Bekele to go into the enemy's country and literally destroy every field in every race possible so that running in that country is bled dry and they have no running resources left. After the war is over I would have a parade down there capital with me and Bekele standing on top of a tank holding the Ethiophian flag and everyone cheering at us.

Good one coach. Shows how little you know about running. You must not have gotten the memo of his latest race, the 10 miller in Bern. He literally destroyed the field in a hilly course.
Americans regularly go to war. I think its morbid fun to kill others. You can see I am right by the numbers americans kill themselves as well. In wars they just do it without the consequences of prosecution so its the optimal solution for them

Of course I would! I couldn’t call myself an American if I wouldn’t be willing to lay down my life for Halliburton.
You spelled Israel incorrectly.

Hell No.
The only way I would volunteer is if another country's military has invaded and is in our country.
I'd volunteer if my country's existence was at stake. I generally don't support wars that don't reach this standard.
Look like my comment about not going to war for Israel was deleted.
Must have been a mistake.

War does absolutely nothing to fix these issues, it just introduces more weapons into the mix.
No. The USA is not worth fighting for.

I have a expertise that would make me valuable to certain defense contractors. I wouldn't have to risk my life in a war. I think I would have been too much of a wuss as a youngster to enlist.
For myself, I would suspect many others it would depend on the nature:
1) Existential threat to the United States and our citizens at home - most likely
2) Existential threat to global freedom (thinking WWII) - would strongly consider it
3) A declared war driven by a political squabble or trying to fix someone else's problems - not a chance
I applied 5 months ago to join as a Nursing Officer in my country (Canada). I would absolutely fight for my home and people, but my education and passion is better served by helping heal others.
The Canadian Armed Forces also provides benefits seen no where else in the country. Half the reason I'm joining is because Lt (2nd) pay and support is 20k over any hospital job for nurses directly out of school.

War stopped Hitler from wiping out the jews.
Strikes me the next war Americans will be engaged in will be a civil war against each other.
What’s going on in your Senate right now has the rest of the world shaking their heads in disbelief.
Only if the president went with me.
No man above another
Go to war and risk my life for the likes of losers like Kap, Pelosi, and Reid? No way, I'm headed for the hills and will let those losers attempt to defend themselves with dozen gluten free bran muffins.
