Are you willing to die for your country?

[UoUo]

I prefer not 2...but if it's gonna be the last option..so yes.

[mack pl]

I prefer not 2...but if it's gonna be the last option..so yes.agree, but better option is when enemys of mine country will die ;)

[Jack Mehoff]

yes, but i'd rahter let the other bastard die for his.

[Haiw]

I wouldn't know if I could just plain give away my life for my country just like that, but putting it at risk (military) is okay with me.

[Ratamacue]

If the situation demands it, yes.

[California Joe]

Yeah, but I prefer George Patton's philosophy on that.

Just some postulations and hypothesis'.......

[Javehn]

General Pathon said it the best way :lol: . Great philosophy .

[Jack Mehoff]

For those who voted yes, how many served in the military?

[Herrmannek]

Only for fair cause... I would at least try to....

[mack pl]

For those who voted yes, how many served in the military?not me,maybe after finnished univ.

[mack pl]

Only for fair cause... I would at least try to....question was-"for your country"-isnt that enough fair cause reason :roll:

[perdurabo]

i prefer to make my enemies die than me but if it saves mine country and my beloved....

[n.ignomo]

I would only if I'm killed by surprise. I'd go if I know I have at least one chance to live. But suicide no thank you !

[UoUo]

For those who voted yes, how many served in the military?

I am gonna be in the army next year.

[fred_engles]

To be honest - I doubt I would accept anything much more severe than taxes (or maybe a terrible haircut) for my country. If it comes down to it, I'd much rather leave. (Just being honest.)

[Herrmannek]

Only for fair cause... I would at least try to....question was-"for your country"-isnt that enough fair cause reason :roll:

Ussualy Yes and Sometimes No :)

[EvanL]

In a war like Iraq, i wouldnt be willing to give my life for something that for the most part was unbased. I would give my life if the reason for the war was to free Iraq from Tyranny, but the alliance based it on WMD's which we have yet to find.
I would give my life for my country if it was threatened. I would give my life for another country if it was threatened.
I would give my life, to protect another one. Especially the lives of innocents.

[mack pl]

Only for fair cause... I would at least try to....question was-"for your country"-isnt that enough fair cause reason :roll:

Ussualy Yes and Sometimes No :)monkeys should be closed in ZOO ;)

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

[Tane Angle]

I'd just as soon avoid it, but if the task requires it, and the task is important enough, so be it. I'm a bit more wary of losing my people though. They're good folks.

[Elmo]

Depends on the threat. I would be willing to risk my life if my family and friends would be in an immidiate danger of being annihilated or oppressed by some totalitarian regime. In that case I would want to use the skills I wasted a year learning. But it really should be fool proof that the life of my family and friends would become significantly worse. Otherwise, no dice. You only live once and it would be really stupid to die for other man's political or financial goals.

What is a country/nation anyway nowadays? No flag waving is going to make me get shot at or trying to kill anyone without a good reason.

[memphiz]

Id do what Id have to do for my country, and that means fight to the death. So be it

[mocking_loudly_died]

I would help Indonesia invade Australia and then with my new found wealth I'd take my lovely arse to the UK (duel citizenship).

[Innoxx]

No, I wouldn't die for my country. I would however die for my loved ones, and to defend my house and all the neat stuff inside it (DVD, computer, '54 flat screen, pets). Canada never brought me a drink and comforted me when I was having woman troubles. Paul Martin or any other PM for that matter never helped me move into my house. So screw Canada, Canada sucks.

Canada allows you to live everyday without having to worry about being killed by ****in stray gunfire or some ****ty band of thugs so they can strip your body to buy bread. Canada allows you to get a job extremely easily. Canada allows you to do pretty much whatever the **** you want and say whatever you want.

No, Canada never bought you a drink and it didnt move you into your house, but it sure as hell allowed you to do those things without problems....something most of the world can't say.

...That's why it's so boring around here. There are no ****ers out there trying to kill me. You've obviously never lived in the boonies here in northern BC. The unemployment rate here is double that of BC, and BC's unemployment rate is already one of the lowest in Canada. Oh, and I can't do everything I want here. If I wanted to piss in a cop's open mouth, I'd probably get **** kicked and charged with something.

I just live here mate, if I get wind that Canada gets invaded, I'm simply packing my **** and moving elsewhere.

Ja, I should. Good weed here though.

That and and the scenery are the only good things :D

Impressionable oriental tourists too.

[mattnwnc03]

i would knowing that i would be saving lives here in the states.but i would rather live and let the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

[Fintin]

ill take a paper cut but thats about it.....depends on the reason i was dieing....im not going to join the military....so im not going to get shipped out and be in harms way....but if someone attacked our country and i died in some relation to that....i would accept that....i guess i would be dead, but you get the point....

[Ria]

Military-wise, yes I would. Even though I'm not joining the military. But if I was needed, I would do it.

[to free the oppressed]

It sounds like alot of good men and alot of pussys here, but me I would die for my country. I don't know about much about the people here, but my friends and I we risk are ass's everyday walking down the street just so we can go to school. I live on a very creepy and dangerous street esepcially at night. But so far only two of us as been jumped including me.

[Jack Mehoff]

I voted no

[UkrainianAmerican]

I am not in the military, so the answer is completely hypothetical. I am confident that if my death would mean at least one saved countryman, it would be worth it.

[to free the oppressed]

I am not in the military, so the answer is completely hypothetical. I am confident that if my death would mean at least one saved countryman, it would be worth it.
This is a man right here. But the question everyone should ask them selves is are you "Afraid of Death?" I'm not. And Jack you disappoint me .

[Jack Mehoff]

Sorry, i'm a puss and too young to die ya know.

Yeah, I am afraid of death hence the answer is hypothetical. If I really had a choice, I would probably end up "pussying out" instinctively.

[Fintin]

Yeah, I am afraid of death hence the answer is hypothetical. If I really had a choice, I would probably end up "pussying out" instinctively.

why be afraid?...you cant stop it....you dont know when its going to happen...can you truely live if your always afraid of something?

[to free the oppressed]

Sorry, i'm a puss and too young to die ya know.
How young is to young? I'm only 15 and I would die either on the battlefield or on the streets.

[UkrainianAmerican]

why be afraid?...you cant stop it....you dont know when its going to happen...can you truely live if your always afraid of something?
I am not ALWAYS afraid. But if I was on a battlefield, taking fire, I would be ****ting my pants.

[Fintin]

but you could die in the next five minuets....or maybe tomorrow crossing the street...why does it only become something you think about when your getting shot at?

[to free the oppressed]

Neva Eva Eva Eva be afraid of dying.

[Ria]

but you could die in the next five minuets....or maybe tomorrow crossing the street...why does it only become something you think about when your getting shot at?

Very true..but I would be extremely scared to go into battle. It's not that I would want to be scared, it'd be a natural feeling. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Be ashamed for not doing anything.

[Ballistic]

I would help Indonesia invade Australia and then with my new found wealth I'd take my lovely arse to the UK (duel citizenship).

:P

I would help Australia beat off Indonesia with a big bloody stick if the time came for it. I'd prefer not to die without living a full life, but if the unfortunate need arose, I would fight and die to protect my family and friends.

That's all so true. I remember one time when I was scared in first paintball war. And after my first paintball game I wasn't scared. Just like a battlefield the first you get into combat your scared as hell, but after that your not that scared any more.

[Hot Lips]

If I knew I was definately going to die, I'd want to know that it was definately going to have a positive affect on the well being of this country. Otherwise, I'd be willing to put myself in harms way if needed and try like hell not to die.

[to free the oppressed]

This is a good one with fear.

[Lt. Speirs explains to Pvt. Blithe how to cope with fear]
Ronald Speirs: We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends on it.

[Jack Mehoff]

I want you to protect me.

[Tane Angle]

No shame in fear. It's scary stuff.

[Fintin]

i wasnt saying dont be scared at all...im sure i would be shakeing like a leaf if i was dropped into battle...but not because i might die...i would be afraid i didnt do all i could...its a tough question to answer...the way my head is right now...its pritty scary to answer

[scott]

i wouldnt die for my country

i would die for the values my country promotes

maybe that patriotism versus humanism is another difference between realists in international relations who see the state as the key actor and liberalists/idealists who believe in a greater good...

just some rambling coffee induced thoughts...

[J-10]

Yes

[J-10]

Sorry repeated

[Hot Lips]

I want you to protect me. p-)

[mocking_loudly_died]

Christ, it's one thing rabbiting on a forum about how hard everyone is, it's another to be in a situation that involves real death. To many little boys with their heroic death fantasy scenarios.

"john, just make sure the world knows that I took 30 rounds, two rpg's and a nuke up my anus to save my beloved country......god bless (insert nation)......*croak*" - every teenage boy voting yes.

[Javehn]

Usually soldiers do take boolet for their friends in arms , and not hipothetical **** . The times of "I shell die for the queen" long gone .

And some people here , like free_the _opressed should lay off from mixing some drugs with alcohol and medicants . That and the fact you are 15 years old , boy ;) . Also you should lay off from those Sci fi books you reading .

[Moledet]

I die only for my mom.

mocking_loudly_died, this reply it not intented to be taking personally.

That is the problem with duel citizenship, you don't know where you belong. You are not sure which side you belong to. I look down on dual citizenship. I've seen so many people call them themselves "American" infront of people, but inside they hate America and American values. Their only interest is the American Dollar.

Moledet, good reason. I would die for my family [while protecting them]. I would not join a war, but I would save my family and loved ones. If that involved dying for my country, so be it. I am going to die one day anyway, might aswell die with honor.

Well who doesn't like the $$? ;). My comments ref. to the Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi, Israeli, French, etc. who call them selves Americans, but when when they are along with their own community, they spit on American's name. They have the freedom of speech, they can say what they want. But what is up with the hypocrosy. You know?

[Salty Dog]

yes because if you're a marine, or soldier, or anything else, even if the causes of a war are stupid or soemthing, you're still going to fight for the guy next you you, you know what i'm saying?

If thats what it takes, then im willing to give all i ever had. So, HELL YES!
Cause if a man isnt willing or at least ready to die defending his Nation/Home/Family/Values he isnt man at all. Do it, or die trying.

P.S. I pitty those few that voted differently. I cant image what a such an person thinks, or does he/she think at all?
