Flash didnt go willingly. he got a draft notice. I forget the issue number but the gang was at the coffee shop when Peter walks in and Flash tells him they couldnt win the war without him because he got his draft notice or something like that. There is even a scene (Dont know if it the same issue) Where a school mate holds up a paper and says now that Flash is being drafted they dont have a chance against metro U.

Speaking of the time scale shifting, didn't Reed and Grimm also serve alongside Fury and the howling commandos? How was that retconned?

Wikipedia says Fury and the commandos worked with Reed who was with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) in SFAHHF ##3. No mention of Ben, who I think was a flier in the Pacific (?). Maybe nowadays Reed and Ben served in the fictious Asian country war Frank Castle was in with Flash Thompson.
Ben Grimm was in an issue of Captain Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders.....
Was Flash Thompson the only character that was drafted in story?
Wasn't Flash eventually retconned into the second Iraq war?
Also interesting that superheroes don't join up to lend their powers to the battlefield...or step in to end wars for that matter...wars exist in the MU, but outside of Genosha (the only one I can think of) when have superheroes stepped in to end a war?

Flash Thompson served in the second Iraq War when there was no draft notice. Draft was abolished long before the Iraq War.
But there was draft when the Vietnam War was going on.
How could Flash Thompson fight in two wars decades apart? Vietnam War was later retconned to Siancong War. But if the Siancong War occurred after draft was abolished, Flash Thompson couldn't be drafted.
