How many people legitimately would want to fight for the countries they live in right now

And how many would actively resist? Everyone says they don't trust their government, that it's corrupt and needs to change, yadda yadda. But the moment the ghost of Russia, China or communism appears - brains turn off and it's full on goose step. Will the citizens of Poland, Germany, Moldova actually fight their governments should those governments begin conscription? Or will they hunker down and pray somebody else gets nabbed? "Sure I don't want to die for the government, but someone should!"
