Would you personally fight to defend others’ freedom from oppression?

Would you fight for others right for freedom?

Iran has been authoritarian for 40 years, the link below documents some of how strict and brutul they have been. I's all men by the way... oppressing women. If want to summarize what this war ends up doing... it frees women. Some men cannot handle that because of their religious viewpoints. The root issue being... security/insecurity.

Example below... blinding protestors. That is unheard of in the west, but practice in Iran... if not worse.. actually executing people.

Could not verify if this is marketing or accurate, but reports support such behavior

... So this is why Iran cheers when their leaders are taken out. They have tried to fight to no avail. Would you fight to support others freedom?

PS this post is not about the complexity of the war... nuclear weapons, Israel, or other complexities of the issue. It's about freedom, and what it might take to establish such freedoms in an oppressive part of the world. That's right... might take your boots on the ground, your $ into the govts pocket, your support, etc..

There may be a lot of consternation about the war initiated by USA against Iran recently... how it was done, why it was done, is it legal, and lastly... the many lives now paying the price for the decision.

Yes

I'll support others fighting for their freedom

No

Other

I really don't care. I don't dream of being a hero or anything. I’m not into living life to the fullest but I also don't think I should give up my life or ruin my health for anyone. Would you?

[lightbulb27]

There are good reasons to fight and die. I'm surprised there aren't any "freedom for women" people.
I'm not so convinced of this one. But that isn't how the system works either... they call and ya go.
I'm too old... unless I was in Ukraine, I'd be front lines.

I fight for my own and my loved ones rights. That's it.

I am my own master.
"They" -for Darwin's sake- need their own effort to succeed.

Been there done that. It’s someone else’s turn now.

[FreyaRed]

No but I would send others to die for my interest.

if I was younger and we were at war with Iran I would volunteer

No. They better stand up for themselves.

[lightbulb27]

lol. they do. when they do, they get their eyes gouged out, shot and killed and hung. how many generations are going to stand up seeing that?

[LC75LC71]

I am referring to people in general, not necessarily some country that I don't give a shit about. For that matter most wouldn't either if it wasn't recent news..

Probably, to a degree.
