      Yeah, not every man of draftable age was in a position to flee when the invasion started, and even if they were…what a shit list of choices. Join the poorly trained/outfitted army on a shoddily planned hostile invasion or leave everything (and often everyone) behind to go try and start anew in a brand new country you may have never been to before (or even one that hates you) with no idea if you’ll ever be able to return home.
