Finally, your country is attacked by the Eastern civilization, and joins the war. Would you go?
Vastly different scenario from your first mentioned.

In that situation yes, because my country is attacked (or allies so to speak, meaning I'd join in on WW2 for instance, given if hypothetical circumstances would allow it)

However, there is little use for ground troops in a full scale nuclear war, because then it isn't about holding/liberating territories, but about destroying the opponents means of striking back. But I'd still try to do "my bit" so to speak.
