Does Ones Surroundings Influence Them to Go To War?

Does ones surroundings influence them to go to war? I think that ones surroudings does influence them on war. Lets use Johnathan as an example. In the story Johnathan heard the bell and this made him think even more about going to war. "Even as he stood there, the bell resumed its call."(page 10) Another reason why I think that ones surrounds affect them is because Johnathan had his father, cousin, and brother recently in war and his brother and cousin are still in war. This made him think that why should'nt I join? He was only thirteen and knew how to hold a gun. In school im in the a/t class. In New York people don't think of war as a good thing. I learned about war and all the deaths in war and i think that i would never want to be a soldier. This is due to my surroundings. Im influenced to be a wealthy careful person. I think That ones surroundings truly influences them to go to war.
