| Baalzamon said: I don't think that I would ever fight on behalf of the country either, as I don't feel it should be an obligation to protect people living 2,000 miles away who probably will never have had an effect on your life anyways, and who don't give a shit about your life. The only situation where I would feel obligated to fight is on the local level. Should war erupt in Central Minnesota for instance, I would feel obligated to fight and protect what I call home and protect all of my relatives that are living in the area. Fighting in this situation would have absolutely nothing to do with protecting the country as a whole though, but only to protect my local area. |
Personally speaking, I'd join up first in order to prevent the fighthing from ever getting near my home/relatives. That'd be especially true if I were in your position, seeing as how if anyone ever made it to Central Minnesota the shit must have long ago hit the fan, so the odds that you're doing anything particularly effective by then are much, much smaller.
