No. Screw that. My country's nice, but I'm not dying for a country. I'd die for a person, even a stranger, before I died for a country.
Your country needs you!!!

I wouldn't fight and/or die for England as the whole patriotism thing seems a bit flawed really, just seems to be based on the mindset of 'This country is better than yours because I was born here, yeah!'. Wahey.
That said, I would gladly put myself in the way of anything that threatens anyone I love or stops me living how I would want to, other than that....meh.
Guess that makes me sound kinda selfish really but, well, that's how it is.

Also this. A country is just a line on a map (broadly speaking, I know you have the extreme places) and that can be redrawn, a person can't be reborn (depending on your faith system of course).latenightapplepie said:

No way. My country disgusts me. Furthermore I think no war is about the common population but about governments and I don't like being used.
No, I wouldn´t, I´m to much of a chicken.
Well, anyway not for the fighting.
I would perhaps sign up as a nurse in a field hospital or something like that.
But beeing without any kind of medical training, I would not be of much use.
But if they trained me, I would try to help.
I would do that for (almost) any side of the war, though.

No because I'd probably be the most incompetent soldier on the field who would only hinder military function. Of course, that's assuming I make it through boot camp alive by some miracle.
I literally can't join an army because of physical conditions that can't be fixed. lol
My entire rib cage is shifted to a slant form one accident, and makes it really hard to breathe normally if I have to run or anything like that. My knees don't go straight forward like they should because my bones grew faster than my tendons could keep up with, so I can't crouch for long. And if I do, I can't move very well when I stand up again. My back is really bad from an old job. I'm pretty much blind in one eye... and I think that's all they'd be concerned about. lol
If I was physically able to serve in a military, I might do it, but it depends on what kind (Navy, Marines, and so on).

Nope. I'd protect my family, but I'd protect them by taking them to a country that's not at war. Seems much more sensible. I have no love for this country.
I fully agree with you. I mean I wouldn't fight if my country chooses to attack in the name of something they believe in (but I don't). However if we were being invaded I'd be first in line to sign up. Defend my family, my friends and what I've lived for...no question. Though if my country invaded for a set of values (lets say freedom, knocking down a dictator, stopping evil of some sort) I might sign up. But really I'd definitely against invasion.Furburt said:
No . I would run to another country to avoid the draft.YouCallMeNighthawk said:Hello fellow escapee's! second thread here, hope you like it
(any grammar problems, just tell me)
I was sitting here watching military history channel and as usual i would daze of thinking about if i was in that war and whether i would survive and it and so on. (does anybody else do that?)
But the real question i propose to you is, If your country was in crisis would you sign up for the army?
I mean as in threat of invasion. Like the nazi's were thinking of invading england. I would definetly sign up! as i would feel a sense of pride in trying to protect my family and friends by fending of the savage beasts!
