I have made that joke to many of my healthy friends. Some did not like it because they are genuinely scared about having to fight in war. I still think it is pretty unlikely but I tried to take their sorrows seriously.
I mean I have/had psychosis and bipolar. Noone would even consider giving me a gun. There are a lot of war movies in my language which try to show how horrible war is some are classics. In some of them there are soldiers who cannot cope anymore with the persisting threat of their life. I can remember it some soldiers go full psychotic due to that.
I think giving me a gun would be pretty insane. I am way too fragile for that. On the one hand I would probably just kill myself with it. On the other hand if I became psychotic I would be a danger for my team.
Some still liked the joke. To make it clear I said something like "Yeah I am so lucky to be insane at least I don't have to fight in WW3: Have fun fighting in it." Maybe it is a little bit dark humor but whatever.
Are you glad you would not have to fight in case a world war started? Though I think in Ukraine being mentally ill is I assume no excuse for not fighting. At least I have not heard of it.
Maybe I would have to be part of the medic service. In my country I think they have no law with which they can force people to fight. Everyone can say this is incompatible with my conscience. Damn we would lose so hard in case a war started. Though they need to be part of the medic service.
We would have a 1:20 relation of medics and soldiers.
