Be honest..Would you fight for your country in a war if they needed you?No matter how you are?

Answer 1

What a bunch of lame answers and so disrespectful to those that have died weaving the blanket of FREEDOM you all sleep under.

LOCKED AND LOADED READY TO GO!

A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE
Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes. He stays up for days on end.
-- --
You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water.
-- --
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at, as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
-- --
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
-- --
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
-- --
You talk trash on your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
-- --
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
-- --
You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
-- --
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He does not get to eat today.
-- --
You make your bed and wash your clothes. He wears the same things for months, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
-- --
You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
-- --
You are angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He is told he will be held an extra 2 months.
----
You call your girlfriend and set a date for that night. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
-- --
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
-- --
You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.
-- --
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own government and remembers why he is fighting.
-- --
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of the men like him. He hears the gun fire and bombs.
-- --
You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the bodies lying around him.
-- --
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does what he is told.
-- --
You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call and write home, sleep, and eat.
-- --
You crawl into your bed, with down pillows, and try to get comfortable. He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gun fire
-- --
You sit there and judge him, saying the world is a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him.

Answer 2

TO START WITH I LIKE WIZNIT'S ANSWER, BUT I DO FEEL THERE ARE SOME QUALIFIERS. IN MANY CASES I THINK WE HAVE ENTERED WARS BECAUSE OF POOR LEADERSHIP. IF YOU READ CAREFULLY ABOUT THE BEGINNINGS OF WWI, THE VIETNAM WAR, DESERT STORM, ISREAL'S CONFLICT WITH IT'S NEIGHBORS AND THE WAR WE ARE IN NOW, YOU WILL FIND THAT WE ENTERED BECAUSE WE HAD OUR NOSES IN THE WRONG PLACE OR FOR THE WRONG REASONS. SPEND A LOT OF TIME READING ABOUT WHY WARS WERE STARTED BEFORE YOU DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO AN UNWORTHY CAUSE. READ, READ, READ BEFORE YOU CHOOSE TO FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT AND POSSIBLY DIE, DIE, DIE.

I GUESS IN ANSWER TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION IT'S NO. I'M TOO OLD AND, I'VE DONE TOO MUCH READING.

Answer 3

If the war was really about protecting the country, but we haven't had one of those wars in a long, long time.

Answer 5

Yes, the country has given me in term of job propect, peaceful & stable environment, health, study, & jobless allowances throughout the years. It's going be hard leaving behind loved one though.

Answer 6

For the sole fact of being American made I would fight for this country and defend this country anytime someone speaks bad about it....

Answer 7

For only the dead the war is over

Answer 8

Nope, I'm too much of a woos, forget Darwin's law... I want to survive by avoiding all physical acts of violence... Some things are not worth dying for.

Answer 9

I would fight only for a cause I believed in.

Answer 10

I would have to know why the war is taking place.
