Would you fight for your country?

[Anonymous]

Of course 💪🏻💪🏿

Make love, not war

[abc3643]

I already sort of do.

I have worked in the defense industry for most of the past 33+ years of a century.
So, I "fight for my country" from the safety of an engineering computer and/or office.

That said, I believe the U S of A is on the way out and nothing is going to change that short of an internal overhaul of our political system. I am not saying that the Constitution needs to be abandoned, but it does need to be modified so this country can be more efficient and get its shit together. Right now, "protecting America" almost seems like an abomination of evolution. I ask myself "Who the fuck am I protecting? Suicidal idiots? ! Nature should run its course and kill them off!" Yet, I think of my fellow Americans as like retarded children... they need love and protection despite themselves and I can only hope for the best and do what I can. That said, I made sure not to have kids of my own because I could see the shit hitting the fan over 40 years ago.

No. A long time ago, I wanted to join the Marine Corps, but they disqualified me because of an illness I had when I was an infant.

I would not fight for America today, because this is not aGodly nation and it is not even a "good" nation. There are too many LGBTQs and too many drug addicted and alcohol addicted fools, so that they are not worthy of me "fighting for them" nor "dying for them".

[FreyaRed]

No. If you have to fight it means you're too weak and deterrence of your military was ineffective. You don't need nukes but when you're capable to paralyze important assets of the attacker like telecommunications centers, energy and gas production facilitates, important rail and road bridges, they won't risk an attack.
With what can you achieve such deterrence? Deep strike capability with cruise missiles and drones. Such arms need specialized and trained units, not some firearm welding civilians who want play soldiers to defend a country and die for some bullshit ideals.

[emeraldsaphire]

I'm not going to fight for a bunch of imaginary lines on a map. I'll fight for my home and my family, my friends and my community. But if mexico invades Texas that's not my problem. Also 9/10 times war is just a bunch of politicians having an ego fulled temper tantrum that causes millions of young men to die.

[melssvdv]

I am just a woman. I am not capable for such a feat. Men do that.

If we had to fight against men, we would just drop like flies XD

[melssvdv]

Sorry it was meant to reply to OP not to you. Miss clicked XD

[Levin]

@melssvdv You can fight, too. We'll issue you with a gun.

Shouldn't be just men dying. You die, too!

[melssvdv]

@Levin Damn XD

[Levin]

@melssvdv truth bomb 🙂

[genericname85]

what? fight for all these inbred loosers living on our money, making live worse and worse for us? hell no. i don't see it as "fighting for my people". cause my people would probably not care if someone else governed the country. so what it's really about is fighting for politicians who are picking dumb fights and i'm not willing to lay down my life for that bullshit.

[purplepoppy]

It's not like you'd get a choice. The military doesn't pussyfoot around with conscripts that don't turn up or refuse to fight. Unless you've a bloody good excuse your going to face jail or a firing squad.

[Levin]

Which kind of supports the notion of arming the population. They breach your boundaries, ie effectively try and kill you by making you fight some concocted horseshit war, then you quite reasonably should be able to defend yourself.

[purplepoppy]

Usually when people use guns to defend themselves against authority it doesn't turn out well. The police are well trained to take out such people

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Fuck no, I love my country but not enough to die for it

[Anonymous]

If necessary. Most of our wars are not necessary. They are proxy wars, and wars to protect our interests overseas.

I'm old enough now that they'd be pretty hard up to take me anyhow. But if we were faced with a direct war with Russia or China I'd fight yeah. But even then, if that were to happen unless it were a limited exchange, whether I'd be WILLING to fight would probably be irrelevant. A potential future war with them would likely not be like any war we've ever seen.

[itsannalee]

No, i don’t have ability for that. So it would just burdens the real soldiers.

[DJB72]

I'm exiled, but I'd fight to restore England to what it was before Blair got hold of it.

[exitseven]

I joined the air Force with the intention of becoming a pilot. After the first year I could not pass the physical.

[Anonymous]

There's absolutely no point in boots on the ground conflicts anymore when you can kill millions of people with drones. So no, I'm not going to be fodder in some dumb ass excuse of a war so somebody who makes weapons can get rich.

[Sal_Monella]

I did what I was trained for. The two functions of the military.

[Anonymous]

No way, "my" country did nothing good for me, only bad.

[Asker]

Which country are you from?

[Opinion Owner]

It's a small and irrelevant country in the South-East Europe (Balkans).

[Kelly6]

Only as defense not to invade other countries and take lives of children on women

[jshm2]

No. Unless it was an invasion.

[DonaldDarko]

I do every time I shit post.

[Lliam]

Only if it was invaded.

[DryGermanGuy]

If push came to shove, yeah.

[Anonymous]

For the UK... nah I might fight against it however

[Pterodon]

I have
