Poll: Your nation is at war

[tzimize]

America is fighting many wars now anyway. push comes to shove though? I defect to Canada.

EDIT: you mean on the home-front don't you? I'd have the same plan as I do for zombies: hold up and protect those close to me but not involve my self to the front lines/ follow orders to my death.

More or less this: The immediate security of my friends and kin > my country.

 

[valvoline]

i would enlist immediately.

but i'm planning on doing so soon anyways, sooo...

 

[Lord Doomhammer]

If my government needs me to help protect my country I will help. As it stands my nation is in no immediate threat, so I have not signed up.

If I do wind up signing up it will be for Heavy Armor Crewman in the U.S. Army, probably not the marines.

Let's see...All my family and friends (myself included) live outside my country of citizenship(Our? Most of my friends aren't Swedish. But my family is). In fact, I've spent more of my lifetime outside my country of citizenship than in.

(Sorry OP, that dramatic intro simply doesn't apply to ppl like us. Unless there is war in the country we're in. But then we'll just move again)

I think we would just stay where we are, avoid whatever country Sweden is supposed to be fighting (Give me back that oil Norway!!![Anthropomorphic Sweden]), and wait out the war before visiting again.

Finally, I can't join any army, even if I wanted to, due to my handicap (Congenital heart problem).

 

[Laser Priest]

I think I'd benefit more from allowing the war to go on for a while longer.

If a draft was introduced I'd probably be able to defer it for my education.

When Australia had conscription there was no full deferment for students. You got to finish your current year of study and that was that.

During Vietnam I believe you could apply for student deferment. (http://australianinvolvementinvietnam.wikispaces.com/Conscription). Hence why I said probably, I don't know what it would be like this time around, but I can hope that the system would see the benefits of allowing me one more year of study. That said I'm also too old for the Nation Service they had in Vietnam (but not the outright conscription in WW2).

 

[Cutlesnap]

My country IS at war. In Afghanistan. And I wouldn't go fight that idiotic shit-war if my life depended on it.

I answered 'no' because your hypothetical is completely unrealistic. That's simply not how modern politics and war work. Your hypothetical has no bearing on reality

 

[Wintermoot]

I,m not army material and I think my country is run by idiot,s who aren't worth my life.
I would probably flee also I,m pretty sure the US is going to save my country (like they did in WWII) also my country is a member of the EU (meaning that they get help from all the other EU members).
unless of course they need a test pilot for something like this

 

[FunGuy155]

If war came to Singapore, we're screwed. I mean, we're the size of New York. So when it comes down to fight or flight.....I'd say flight since I'm under age to be in the army.

 

[3aqua]

Well, considering when the last time this happened, we went to war with the wrong bloody country I would have to decline the offer.
Sorry but I have little trust for the English government, especially concerning the act of war.

 

[BlackSaint09]

estonia wouldnt have a chance unless Latvia and Lithuania help us out but... I dont really have anything to live for and this would sort of be a chance to do something both interesting and meaningful.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Hell no. I am not risking my life on some stupid fight that has nothing to do with me. I feel like I am in danger? Then I will try to move to New Zealand

 

[harvz]

I would not go, mainly because of a mountain of medical issues and even if that wasn't a problem, I wouldn't volunteer unless i was guaranteed a position off the battlefield.

 

[Red Bomb]

I'd choose not to go. I'm all for warring it up online but would prefer to leave the corrupt politicians to their little-rich-boy war games.
I would vote for government cage fighting instead of war.
Besides, I'm an Aussie, we don't get involved with anything!

 

[Dutch 924]

If a country was attacking mine, I'd sign up immediately.

If we were attacking another country, I would have to look at the reasons we were attacking

 

[theriddlen]

Hell yeah I enlist. In the invading army, that is. My country could use a bit of pruning now and then.

 

[socialmenace42]

Well, considering I live in Germany and if we were to go to war with anyone the rest of the world would start giving all of us extremely shifty looks (I'm speaking of course of a direct war, not participation in an enduring conflict like Afghanistan and Iraq, in both of which German troops are also involved) I'm gonna have to say no, I'd gather my posessions and hot tail it back to Blighty.

 

[IsraelRocks]

Israeli... already been to one, probably going to be in some more, never been asked on my opinion on the matter so can't really answer the poll

 

[Takolin]

Belgium has seen its fair share of wars. Besides who would want to invade this rainy post stamp?
