100% this!

I consider my younger years as really "gullible" (not stupid, as I have a different definition of stupid than most people), but I was NEVER EVER so gullible to allow ANYONE to volunteer me for a fight to the death against an opponent I don't have a chance to vet beforehand.
Studying overseas in the US also, I was never approached to be in any military. Not that it would have mattered. If Muhammad Ali refused, so︀ could I.
