Would you?

Of course I will 41 11.75%
 
Only if I think the cause is very good 79 22.64%
 
Probably not 70 20.06%
 
Never 159 45.56%

I'm patriotic but I'm not an idiot. Wars belong into the past, there is no need for it anymore.

I would do it if I thought higher of my country or alternatively for personal reasons (was on the fence about joining the Air Force a few years back, took my pre-ASVAB and background screening).

As it stands what our people in power accomplish is the will of their own and not the will of the people and there's no flying chance that I would go to death for that unless circumstances changed.

Based on this gallup Germany would lose a war badly like it always has

You don't need a lot of people to fly drones and remotely control tanks. Why would a technologically advanced nation even send ground troops anymore?

To seize oil tiberium fields?



If invaded sure but going to another country to destroy it. Nope!



Depends on the war, if we're invading some sort of country to take its resource or some ideological reason then absolutely not. But if we are being invaded and the lives of my family and mine are at risk then what choice do I have.

Finland wtf?

Simple: conscription, being a neighbour to Russia, and a successful defensive war against the Soviet Union (fending off such an attack does wonders to overall spirit).

Nope, can't stand the UK and I definitely don't give a flying **** for this **** country.

*shakes fist at ancestors*

Pretty much this. Screw the UK, couldn't care less if it were to cease to exist. It's certainly not worth risking my life for.

Wow thats some really extreme views....
