You're thrown into a war... what role do you play?

[Amaria]

Drill seargent, if I can convince the people in charge to allow me to do it. My dad did it, and I inherited quite a loud yell because of it. Plus, since I'm kind of small, it would be freaking hilarious to see giant, muscled soldiers absolutely terrified of me. As much as I hate war, I would thoroughly enjoy yelling and cursing at people bigger than I am. It's the simple things in life, really.

If that doesn't work (which is likely), I'll follow in my mom's footsteps and take up the noble and often forgotten art of logistics. In war, a lot of people seem to forget about all of the people that get the bullets and food supplies to the people with guns. Let's see how long you last in a firefight when your guns don't shoot and you're starving.

Plus, bullets hurt, and blood makes me woozy. So, frontline soldier and medic are both out. I doubt I'd be able to shoot straight, anyway. Too busy screaming and crying.

 

[Patrick Buck]

I'm pretty certain if you're fighting in a war, you do whatever role you're told to do no?
But if i actually had the choice.....Sniper. Out of danger, out of sight. Cowerdice is the best protection.

 

[Rule Britannia]

general assault troop

 

[The Heik]

So I was playing Battlefield 3 with some friends, and i came to realise that the classes we played really reflected what our prefered job in a real war would be. One of them takes to the skies, the other supplies us with ammo, etc.

So anyway, You're thrown into a war... what role do you play?

Either a sniper, commando, or demolitions. I prefer to fight my enemy by circumventing them tactically, either by hitting them from extreme range, surprising them with a flank, or by simply blowing up whatever cover/vehicle they're using to protect themselves

 

[Laser Priest]

I would be the guy who leaves in the moment of need and gets at least one other character killed. Later, I come back and sacrifice myself to save the rest of the squad in a heroic death.

Yes, that is in the job description.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

I would be that guy who objects to war in principle and opts out I guess...

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Well I'd be that guy missing his trousers, wearing heart dotted boxers, some groucho marx glasses, a bandolier full of explosives and cans of rations and a frilly pink hat,

Meh, we already have a soldier that doesnt wear any trousers over his pink boxers. Next!

(Yes, that picture is genuine)

I don't think I would do well on the front-lines, so I would be in the artillery.
Sitting pretty 300 miles away bringing the pain with one of these bad boys:

Could you imagine brining it to the McDonalds drivethrough between salvos? Epic.

 

[Da pyro man 999]

In the realms of b3, i would be a support. Nothing is cooler tha supressing a target while a squad member flanks them and sticks a knife in their throat.

In real life, however, i would probably choose be a medic.

 

[CharrHearted]

play dead, yeah, i'm a coward, sue me.

 

[viking97]

the guy who pretends to be gay so he can get dishonorably discharged. although there wouldn't be much point since there hasn't been a draft in decades...

 

[M0rp43vs]

Well I'd be that guy missing his trousers, wearing heart dotted boxers, some groucho marx glasses, a bandolier full of explosives and cans of rations and a frilly pink hat,

Meh, we already have a soldier that doesnt wear any trousers over his pink boxers. Next!

(Yes, that picture is genuine)

Oh I know about that photo.(missing a frilly pink hat and erection)
But I'd rather go as audacious as possible.
I figured, I'm in a war, I'm gonna end up a statistic so why not go in a way that draws enemy fire(if it doesn't leave everyone in the warzone slackjawed) or at least give any survivors an interesting story("I swear he waved his boner at them singing "giggle at the ghosties")

Not as outrageous as everyone else saying they'd be a lone wolf cold sniper or magic healing medic

 

[JasonBurnout16]

I'd like to think a strategist though I can't do any games like that.

Otherwise something that keeps me out of the way of the fire, while still offering a strategic role - such as Armorer.

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

BRING ME THE ARTILLERY!!!!

 

[bmullins0118]

I'd be a Military Anesthesiologist as I plan to become an Anesthesiologist after schooling.

 

[GeekFury]

If I'm lucky, the guy who presses the nuke button before it all goes to hell.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

The guy who takes advantage of the situation to take over the world.
No, I don't know what roles there are in BF3, since I don't have or play it.

 

[Commissar Sae]

Not in the military, sitting back home and working to support people back home, raising the next generation. Thank you rare and occasionally debilitating nervo-muscular condition.

I have decent aim, but my body can't handle strenuous physical activity without breaking down on me so yeah, can do some basic guerilla warfare but only as a civilian in an invasion scenario.
