AITAH for telling my family I wouldn’t fight in WWIII and that they shouldn’t expect me to?

So with all this WWIII talk going around, my family started joking about “when you get drafted” and how “every man in the house should be ready to defend the country.”
I (23M) straight up told them I’m not going. Like at all. I said, “I didn’t even finish college, what makes you think I’m built for war?”
Also, I didn’t cause these global problems, I’m not dying for oil, flags, or billionaires who sit safe in bunkers while we fight over maps.
My dad said I’m selfish and unpatriotic. My brother said I’d be a coward if I didn’t go, and my uncle (who literally never paid taxes) told me I’d be “disrespecting the country.”
I told them:
I already work two jobs to survive,
Can’t afford rent,
And don’t even have health insurance, what exactly am I “fighting to protect”?
Now they’re all calling me dramatic and embarrassing for saying I wouldn’t fight even if I got drafted.
So…
AITAH for being upfront about not wanting to fight in a war I didn’t ask for?
Is it cowardly or just honest?
