This reminds me of the interviews in "they shall now grow old" where multiple men say that they joined the British military for WW1 younger than the age limit (like 16 when the age limit was 18) because they really wanted to defeat the enemy and make their country proud.

It's a really great documentary, I highly recommend watching it.
