I voluntarily served in the Army so my answer is pretty obvious. I don't think they'd give me much of a choice of preference.

Reminds me of an exchange from the Flying Circus:

- Are you a pacifist, Jenkins?
- No sir, I'm not a pacifist. I'm a coward, sir.
- That's a very silly line Jenkins. Go and sit in the corner.
- Yes sir. Silly.

Army. That is what I'll probably go into if I don't get in the Merchant Marine Academy. I wouldn't get conscripted though, since I'd do ROTC.

None, as conscription would be illegal in the USA. I would never participate in something illegal.

If the Dutch, Germans or English invaded Belgium I would collaborate with them.
If the French invaded I would join the army, a militia, or a terrorist organisation.

But most likely I'd just be cowering in the basement.
