In general, I see your point (the compliance level of the masses cannot be overestimated). That said, I think that there is a HUGE difference between asking people to get a supposedly innocuous injection (remember, we've all been conditioned since childhood to believe that shots are unpleasant, but *necessary*) in order to "protect themselves and others" and asking people to go off and fight a literal war. The first (injections) actually appeals to people's misguided sense of self-preservation. The second (conscription) asks them to put that aside. BIIIIG difference IMO.
