Absolutely!
-----------------------------
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
---------------------------
Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?
Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?
That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go.
We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go.
-------------------------

YES.

For the first time in History the people have a voice not a king or a ruler of some other kind and although we do not have a direct democracy. The ideals of governed by the people for the people is the greatest form of government in the history of the world.

Until someone discovers something better (Communism will never be better b/c it doesn't give incentive to get ahead and no real reason to work since everything is entitlement)
It is absolutely worth dieing for to preserve.

Yes - did while I was in the service and do now. The country is made up of a lot more than the politicians that are currently running it. The deaths and suffering of lots of people is what gives us the right to express ourselves freely as we do here. The idea of this free country is worth a death. But it is also worth working to get the country back on track to were we would like it to go. Military service, even during times that we do not agree with the administration, earns all of us the right to work to change the country

There are only a few things worth dying for. I think they can all be grouped into one big category- LOVE.
You can love your...
country
freedom
family
friends
future generations of your family
and you could also love what you believe in.
I believe in the things I listed and that is why I volunteered for the military and would gladly fight for the things I listed.

God bless those who do die for YOU to have the right to ask that question freely without fear of being punished for expressing your opinion.

Definately... I am 16 yrs old going to turn 17 on the 16th of this month. Im enlisting into the US army Active Duty as an infantryman soldier. I go to MEPS in about a week and a half, and will go to basic after I graduate next year. I beleive that this country and its ambitions are worth giving up my life for if my country needs it. We live in a free country that was made out of the hearts of a few men that risked their lives to tell england to shove it up their *** and that the people of America are going to be free. I glady will go to war and risk my life for this country, so that you people and the future people of this country can enjoy freedoms. I just wish I had more then one life to give for this country...

The U.S. is more than our home, it is an ideal, an image those who are not so fortunate hold in their minds to carry them through hard times until they can reach our shores and start life anew.

Despite the stupidity we see all around us, the wrong doing and corruption in government, our peoples way of life, and our freedoms (even as they diminish) are worth fighting and dying for.

I believe that the Constitution of these United States and the Republic that it supports may not be perfect... but it's way ahead of who ever thinks that "they" are number #1... and for that... I was and still am willing to support to the death my right to be a citizan of this Nation... and to support your right to think otherwise (if you do)... That is what makes us who we are... Americans. History about this young Nation still supports the belief in freedom for all... Believe it or not. May God (yes, I used the "G" Word) bless America !!!!

To protect this country from "genuine" foreign invaders, absolutely. However, those who are dying in Iraq are not dying for the United States. At least, they are not dying for me. They are dying for an administration that is corrupt in the extreme, and an administration that falsified intelligence in order to justify going to war.

If there was a direct threat to this country yes.

But as far as becoming a soldier to serve in Iraq, no. Those soldiers aren't dying for their country, lives are being destroyed to support Bush's little vendetta against Iraq and to find these invisible 'WMDs'

However, Afghanistan is a cause worth dying for.

I believe freedom is worth dying for but when we play big brother to the world and we pick and choose who we save because of their countries riches then NO.
