World war I and to a lesser extent world war II where eras that were much different than today. These societies were young and vigorous, they were making things within their own countries, and even with the horrors of world war 1, people had pride in their countries and wanted to fight for them.
Contrast that with today, most of the societies that one world war II have converted from building stuff to stuff that technically makes money but doesn't produce anything of value such as banking or stock trading, or managing factories in places like China. Gen z already isn't signing up for the military, imagine if waves of American soldiers were being sent off to die on the other side of the planet. I have permitted with you really funny watching the boomers come full circle in that regard.
