Judging from the first answerer (who by the way is a cowardly **** house) you only have to use the term "foreigner" on here and your a racists, not quite sure what we should call them then ("people who were originally from overseas but took advantage of Labours slack immigration laws, maybe). Considering you can still buy stuff from a corner shop on Christmas day, I would be pretty surprised if they abandoned their counters long enough to even fly to war let alone fight in one.
Oops I ve mentioned corner shop does that me make a racist, best hide low till the coast has cleared
AFTERNOTE: I have blonde hair and blue eyes as well so Im okay too,

Listen, if a 'foreigner' is living in the Uk, they won't be able to fight 'for us'. Thing is - would you? I live in the Middle East and have no intention to join other people's quarrells and I'm sure they would not want me to (as is the case in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc)
What people choose to forget is that legal immigrants are in the Uk propping us up doing jobs that we don't want to do. They are also prepared to accept rock bottom wages 'cos we don't want to pay the going rate in the UK and have priced ourselves out of the market.
If war broke out here, of course I would be on the first flight back to the UK along with 6,000 other Brits here! Point taken??

This is a very hostile question, as you are starting out from a presumption of disloyalty. Look into history, and you will find that many ethnic groups, whether living in UK or not, have fought for UK. Indians in WW2 (inside and outside UK), West Indians in WW2 (inside and outside UK), Chinese in WW2 (those already working on merchant ships).
The real puzzle is, given the lack of recognition, why they would consent to do so. Not that UK service people get much recognition of real value to them, either.

I am a British citizen and I'll be saying the truth:
No, I would never fight for UK or any other country, the only reason I live in UK is because it is a soft-touch...

I think you should elaborate the "fight for us" part. The Iraq war has started an interesting debate. If you think a war is unjust, is it treachery to refuse to fight, or is it just refusal for reasons of conscience.
If I were an immigrant British citizen (not foreigner), I think I would fight to protect the country from invasion, but refuse to fight an Iraq war.

I am not living there but I would fight for Brits.
Remember how we saved your *** in WW2 ?
(I just had to add that last bit, it was expected)

im portuguese i live in wales. I love the country. i'd fight to defend it.
Its not a racist question at all. I'd be happy give something back.
I wouldnt abandon ship like a rat
Besides, immigrants from rough backgrounds aren't affraid of war. I'd rather fight next to Kurd of an Indian, fresh from their rough countries, then next to a posh nancy boy who cant even appreciate the food he eats.
I say bring them on

We are the ones planning to renew our weapons of mass destruction. Who do you think would pick a fight with us?
I suspect you are really the foreigner. In that you are obviously not from a sensible planet. Do you orbit here often?

There is no war in UK, it was only in Tony Blair's head!
And if you bomb people around the world they will fight back. Action-Reaction.
