=Volunteers for the War= About 2 million men volunteered for military service. Some heard about German atrocities and wanted to fight back. Many believed different things, some believed democracy was at stake, others felt they had a duty to respond to nation's call. The horrors of the war became apparent very quickly to the soldiers, but they kept fighting. They did not lose morale and it ensured victory. More than 50,000 Americans died in battle, over 200,000 were wounded, and another 60,000 died from disease.
