I looked at Dogs' quote in context, I think she made a typo and meant 'was' instead of 'is'. If this was what she meant then her statement is quite accurate, as there was a stigma during the world wars about able-bodied men who refused/wouldn't fight for their countries. I can give you several WW1 propaganda songs, poems and various WW2-based films/shows that would back this mentality up.
