frankly, and world war three scenario would involve all major powers annihilating each other with nuclear weapons. perhaps in largely unaffected
unaffiliated nations there would be drafts, to squabble over the remains, but it wouldn't make too much of a difference, because the majority of
mankind would already be dead. (China, India, USA, UK, France, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, possibly North Korea, and anyone any of those countries is
annoyed at.)
Also: World Wars 1 and 2 featured widespread conscription in the textbook sense, in addition to martial law. They aren't mutually exclusive, and in
fact, generally go hand in hand.
If it came to a huge and wildly unlikely WW2 style slugfest, immigrants (at least some of 'em) would probably be detained in camps, and the majority
of eligible males who aren't doing something critical to the war effort would be drafted. Wouldn't be any sense in discriminating by race or
religion.
