Would you Die for your Country?

[beanman12345]

fuck no i wouldn't.

[Jaylock]

A better question would be: "Will you kill/fight for your country?". I think the vast majority of any military personnel is willing to fight and kill for their country, and while they do know the risk of doing so, they are not exactly willing to die. If going to the middle east meant a 100% chance of death, i doubt we would have any soldiers willing to go there.

True, you make good points. But death is a risk of willing to kill/fight for your country, so you would have to be willing to accept the risk of death.

Ehhhhh...

I'm not too attached to my country. While I think it's among the better ones, the idea of dying for a country (any country) is just not something I'd likely do. Patriotism is something I've yet to grasp. Then there's the issue of what I could even do in the first place. Never been to army due to depression. I guess I could drive a truck or something?

A country has to be defended from the trouble inside too, not just foreign invaders. Your freedom is more likely to be taken by your countrymen, rather than an invader.

True, which is why I lean heavily on the conservative side, as I believe the liberal agenda is to limit freedoms, and impose more restrictions and govt. control on its citizens.

[Hammerfest]

You would die for Jesus?

Didn't I just say that?

[Jaylock]

Not going to die for a country that is at the ready to throw me under the bus.

I respect those who do fight for this country (as much as I respect a cop or fire fighter). But no I would not do it myself.

How do you mean "throw me under the bus?"

I'm not talking about us invading another country, im talking about another country invading the US. I'm not sure where you live in the US, but you seriously wouldn't pick up a gun if you saw the military of another country rolling down your street with the intent to take control of your neighborhood/city/state etc?

[DaSandman]

Yes and no.

Yes, because I'd be patriotic and defending freedom.

No, because my sacrifice would be taken for granted eventually.

[Santti]

Didn't I just say that?

Now that's interesting. What does that even mean, dying for Jesus? Best Korea threatening to nuke heaven, so you'd go all guerrilla style in there?

Didn't he already die for you?

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Are we talking flying a jet in to a space ship with Randy Quaid or dying in a desert because reasons?

[Zelk]

I would die to preserve the freedoms enshrined in the constitution.

they teach you that line in school?

[Puupi]

Didn't I just say that?

How does dying for Jesus happen?

I mean, in what circumstances would your death be attributed for Jesus?

[Dellis0991]

Die for my country? Hell to the naw, die for my family? yes.

[Khaza-R]

My current country? Absolutely not

I believe the people in the US you are talking about aren't even liberals to begin with. It is all about pushing their own agendas and power up their influence and egos. Being "liberal", in the true sense of the word, doesn't mean one has to take everything that is thrown at them for granted or accept whatever they come across.

Something, or someone has really fucked up with the terminology, is absolutely bonkers if liberals​ are limiting freedoms compared to conservatives.

[Dark-Zarupia]

No even though i'm planning to join the military, its just for a few years to earn some good money then i'm leaving Europe

[hrugner]

Would it work? how long is my country saved for? What happens if I don't save my country? Can it wait till after the new Blade Runner?

If you mean would I jump into the meatgrinder for my country with nothing to show for it; nah, not really.

[Donald Hellscream]

If I have the chance to relocate somewhere else instead, then no. It may be unpatriotic but I would rather carry on living somewhere else than throw my life away.

[Theinquisition]

they teach you that line in school?

Maybe

Hey just curious, how's that multiculturalism working out for ya there in the U.K.?

[Alvito]

Jesus: Yes
Country: No

I am pretty sure JC doesn't need you to die for him.
