congratulations! you drew the short straw and now you're being conscripted into World War II to fight for your country.

your family are very proud. all you have to do is fill out a simple form to select which area of the armed forces you prefer. they currently need recruits for several different and fulfilling positions. it's casually mentioned in the fine print that if you refuse to complete the paperwork you'll be shot in the town square the following morning.

do you choose:
>army (paratrooper)
>army (tank corps)
>marines (flamethrower infantry)
>navy (submarine crew)
>air force (bomber crew)

Australia.

Well If I've been conscripted, that means it's 1942 and I'd be shipped off to fight the Japs in New Guinea as part of the Citizens Military Force.

I probably wouldn't die but the conditions were pretty shit and I'd probably get sick within a couple days. We'd hold them off though and I'd be a hero back home.

Tank Corps or Submarine.

Japs can't into anti-submarine warfare, so it should be a breeze.

>British paratrooper

Most likely you will die or be captured in Market Garden, or be the unlucky few that stay in Britain for a few more months, and then get shipped to France on boat and walk your way to the front, when the war is almost over.

Bonus: American paratroopers will get all the glory of D-day and Bulge

Probably either be in the Philippine Constabulary were I'm forced to march to death with a bunch of white people.
Or a commie guerilla, considering where I was born this is more likely than being a regular guerilla.

Either way I'm fucked I'll either die from exhaustion from marching, or be BTFO at the end of the war as a commie.

Fuck it, I'd go bomber crew. I'd just pray to be sent to the pacific instead of Europe, since as far as I can tell the Japanese never really had effective anti-air weaponry.

I choose no role in the Great War and I flee from my country to Canada on grounds of being a conscientious objector because of my religion (individualism), even though religion is a spook.

Canada takes me in and I don't have to be shot by my former country's home guard.

Army, paratrooper. Guaranteed to be sent to the West Front of the ETO which had the lowest casualty percentage for my country.

Tankers took a lot of casualties during the Bulge and in the Bocage. As a paratrooper, after Overlord you chill in England until Market Garden with many leaves in Paris until the Bulge. After the Bulge you pretty much just walk into Austria unopposed while tanks are fighting to mop up German resistance in Germany.
