You will do what the politicans tell us to do. But I see your point. Wars are hell and I would not want my kids going to war either unless it was to protect our country from attack.

But remember that Hitler's U-boats were sinking American ships off the coast of New Jersey for years before Pearl Harbor and the start of WWII for the USA against Japan and then Germany. All due to a war in Europe. So we are tied to Europe and a war in Ukraine influences all of Europe and the USA.
