    Would you sign up for military service if your country was attacked?

    If your country was attacked, and you were now at war, would you be willing to sign up for military service to defend your country? Would you be willing to die for your country? Defend the cause of freedom?

    Of course if you live in a socialist type country, there really wouldn't be much freedom to defend in the first place, but would you still be willing to go into military service to defend your country?

    I selected Yes, beings that I already served in the military.

    I would do so again if I could and our country was attacked.

    Just from being attacked? Probably not. If my country was invaded then yes I would join in a second.

    If invaded, I would pick up a gun and fight back. I don't really see that happening though.

    Lets make it more personal then. If your hometown was bombed, would you sign up then?

    I hate freedom and would actively discourage people from joining the military just so I can fit into people's poll options better.

    No way. I absolutely hate my country. If hating your own nation means you are a racist, then I am proud to be one. I'd go as far as even ally with the attackers and give me life just to see this land burn.

    Nowdays? Considering how advanceed the technology is + bio weapons, it's certain death as a trooper/paratrooper or anything like that.
    I could if we were back in 1919 or 1939, but not sure either. Nowdays...no damn way.

    yes without a doubt.
    Only thing that stopped me from entering military service is a health condition.

    So...why the hell do you live in whatever country you're from?

    OT: Yes, I'm joining the USMC now. Matter of fact, I leave for boot camp on the 22nd of this month.
    Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed

    depends on why my county was going to war.
    But i could just as well fight against my country if it was something is did not belive, or was agaisnt. Like; kill all jews,blacks ect

    Well, the poll options and the opening post are rather transparently loaded, but, negating that, if my country was under attack and I was considered fit for service (which I very much doubt I currently am), I would certainly volunteer to defend it. The UK isn't perfect, but I imagine any nation that felt compelled to waste money on invading it would probably be considerably worse and I would not want its ruling regime to replace the imperfect but passable system we have now. Plus, I live here!

    If my hometown was bombed I would likely be dead..... Would be very difficult to fight.

    Also IF my country was attacked we would have 3/4 of the world on our side fighting back. Would be no need for me and I would sooner be home protecting my family then leaving the high and dry. There are people who dedicate their lives to the job of protection.

    Again the only way I would sign up to go to war would be if my country was actually being invaded and not just an attack here or there. A pearl harbor would not be enough to make me abandon my family and fight a war.

    Would probably join the Red Cross or something. DONT SHOOT THE GUY WITH THE RED CROSS!

  15. #15
    Probably join a local militia first.

    Other - Things are usually too complicated to allow for a quick decision.

    NO i would not. Since no matter who attacked us, we would surrender instantly. Denmark is too small to defend it self from anything, and also your little "well if you are from a socialist country, you don't really have anything to protect, herp derp". Then i ask you, why the hell would you want to defend your liberal ass country that does not give a shit about you at all? Why not just move to somewhere else, like a forest or something where there is no one to tell you what to do? In my eyes, America is a corrupt shithole on earth, and i know that comment will get me banned, but frankly so should you for bashing socialist countries. We have as much to protect as you. Also, there is no truly socialist countries. We are all social-liberals.

    jaylock, can you make just one thread without trying to insult half the forum?

    OT: if the UK was attacked and in any danger i would sign up, i would not sign up for a war where we are the aggressor though.
