Depends...
It's a hard question, there are many reasons people go to war. Some go for glory or fame, some for something to do or some food and shelter, some are honest people who believe in the specific cause, and most others are pulled into it because of drafting. I feel that war is not worth it if it is for substantial things (remember George W. Bush?) but if it is for the lives of others as in World War II, it is definitely worth everything you must endure. During the Civil War I would have joined on the Union side because the concealed thing that the war was really about, slavery, was inhumane and had to stop. There are many hardships, most of all leaving family, but you must remember you are fighting for your family to be safe, and press on.

L think your right about fighting for a specific cause. If you were a person who wanted to stop something like slavery that was inhumane then there was not really a reason why you wouldn't want to go. As, if you were a person that went for money and glory you would be scared of dying in the war.
