Thread ends here.

You could go on a blood-thirsty rampage and suicide at the end or freeze up. No one knows. I certainly don't want to know.

Quite so, but I could hazard a guess... that I'll return even more jaded than I already am, if I return at all...

I'm a 'keen' student of war in the military science sense, so if I managed to become a staff officer, I reckon I'd do OK. As a front-line trooper, give me a sniper rifle and I'd manage... just, since I'd be useless to my squadmates otherwise, being of a twitchy sort and colour-blind, I'd be prone to killing as many blues as reds under the circumstances.

The airforce wouldn't take me, I'm short-sighted as hell. The navy would be OK, but only if I was on board a surface craft (extensive teeth-work, sub-fleet won't take me).

However, it all boils down to the moment after your first action in which you've either witnessed someone die in front of you, or you've killed someone yourself. Once the contemplation starts, then we find out how we really do... and shit ourselves (again).

well i would get shot down on my first mission and spend the rest of the war half heartldly failing to escape from pow camp
You, and four others you have never met before, all from different walks of life, trapped in a concrete cell occasionally allowed out for exercise and use of the toilet. It would be a truly hilarious sitcom.

OT: I'm training to go into the Royal Marines, so I think I'd do okay.

I'd probably spaz out and get filled with holes without basic training and a hearing aid(I have a condition wherein I feel searing pain in my ear whenever i hear loud noises).

If I DO get basic training and a modified hearing aid, I'd probably do fine.

idk that depends on what I will be
I prefer supporting fire units like artillery and snipers
Im good at sniping so as long there isnt a better sniper then me on the field I guess I will be fine.
if an assault unit i will probably die at the the first minute of the battle...

Probably whimper and cry in a fetal position in some treanch somewhere. As fun as video game battles are, I would be terrified IRL. Siriously, don't go to war.

As I am or after training? I've heard that Australia is pretty good with basic training, so I could feasibly make it.

Supposing this is just a personality question based on my current psychological state, I'd spend every second in hostile territory crouched behind any cover/patient superiors I could find, and probably contribute little to an actual firefight. I'd probably hide.

Right now I can tell you without a doubt I'd hide and sneak away from the combat area, ontop of being a coward I have "good" self preservation instincts so going into danger would be against my instincts.

If I had proper trainning and everything...Might be a different story, but right now I'm no hero.

I'd do brilliantly, mainly because i'd be in the logistics corp and hopefully no where near any explosions
