So if it was a case of “yeah I had to join because I was conscripted and it was the law but I just tried to keep my head down until it was over and didn’t do much there” then that’s one thing. Many countries like Ukraine also have compulsory military service, so it’s usually not held against you.

On the other hand, someone who is like “yeah I signed up as soon as I could so I could have a free hand in committing genocide” would almost certainly have a harder time landing that overseas job.
