A question for soldiers and civilians alike.

If I was in the military, then yes. There is obviously more to the situation than I would know and I trust the leaders of my military as well as my administration.
Since I am not, it would depend on the situation.

Most soldiers in WW2 did not know the full extent of the threat the Axis was capable of. Most soldiers are not given the specific information on WHY. This tends to lead to questions that soldiers cannot ask. The loss of life to take Tinnian (spelling?) island was questioned by the ground troops as a waste of time, They did not know that the LONG range B29 could strike Japan from an airbase there. They did not know that Any plane could from that distance. That is one reason the Soldier may not understand and should not question a specific task. As a Soldier based in Iraq, there are plenty of assignments that leave you scratching your head. Even on the Grand scale You may want to question something But we sign not knowing where we will go next and are expected to perform.

Yes. Just because I dont believe in the cause does not mean it isnt for the best of the country. Soldier for as far back as the begining of time have had to die for causes they dont believe in but that is why we are the most powerful country in the world. Because there are people volenteering to fight and possibly die for causes they dont completly understand because in their heart of hearts they know it is for the best of the United States. We should all be so proud as any one of the soldiers of the United States.

That is a good question, to serve out of agreement with an ideal or out of a sense of duty. I believe that risk comes with priviledge so in saying that I would say yes I would risk my life out of duty for my family and my country.

What if the 'cause' was the protection of yourself and your freedoms?
Should I personally feel that you are worth defending? Or should I protect you anyway?
