I'm sure some were given a pass and didn't fight in WW2, But the two examples I can think of were Joseph Kennedy Jr. (who was killed in the war) and his brother John F. Kennedy who had a PT boat command that was sunk (PT109). President Teddy Roosevelt had a son who was a general and fought in WW2 and died.
they had to do all the business-y type work and they had to go to war
Traditionally men were conscripted.
At the beginning of the war it was all volunteers. The young men were encouraged by propaganda. Everyone thought the war would be over by the Christmas and they got good pay too. White feathers were nailed on the doors of people who would not go to war's houses. Most men in the village would go, so peer pressure convinced a lot of men. However, Britain was losing a lot of men later on so then they made everyone go to war.
You can view all the men from Newtongrange at my website Newbattle at War
The Women stayed home and worked in the factories when the men left. This helped to incrase their statous when the men returned from war
well not all men some men stayed and some men work on there home and some went to war so not all men went to war.
Because men in the war would go door to door taking people and drafting them into the war but you didn't have to go if you gave them $300 right then and there so all of the poor men had to go and fight
There were 4 groups of men who didn't have to go to war in the British Army. These were the sick men, the old men, the mentally challenged men, and the physically disabled men.
If you mean when all the men went off to fight in the war, then men who were not eligible to go and women took over. Otherwise they closed.

they wanted to go to war
younger men went to war because they might have more skill than older men!!!
30% went to war so dont go to war and stay in school
No. Some of them had to keep their shops, etc. If all the men went to war than the woman would have to do everything. Heres the deal. At some point of their lives a man would have to join the military. Then he would quit and then go on with life. (That is if they are still alive) :P
society viewed men as cowards and shamed them if they didnt go to war. Usually, they will be forced or drafted into the war and didnt really have a choice.
Three Men Go to War - 2012 TV was released on: USA: 22 October 2012
Men (that are not military) were forced to go to war only when conscription was ruled in parliament.
