I was also thinking about this. I'm thinking of signing up for a paramilitary organisation here in Lithuania so I could at least know how to use a gun if a time comes.
In this sense, I suppose the mandatory military service makes it seem more realistic as an option, if most men already know the basics of what to do. They have that in Ukraine.

But at the same time I think I'd flee to west Europe. I wonder if we, people in the EU, have been spoiled too much with this free movement thing and consider the whole Europe our home and are not too tied to our homeland.
There's also some fear mongering (which is spread by pro Russian media as well) that if the Russians were to invade Lithuania, they would capture it in a couple of hours.
But also - according to the minister of defence of Ukraine around 140 thousand of people, mostly men, returned to Ukraine when the War started.
