Got to be honest, for this country it would be tough. In the past, yes, now? Not so much. And I'm a vet. Why? The President and his behavior. Same with Holder. Not a chance. that and most of his constituents.
Other countries??? Really, really depends.
Maybe the President should put Basha or Khashi or whatever that kids name is as one of the FIRST boots on the ground in the soon-to-be middle east war games. Same goes for Hillary and Bill's kid. Time they are front and center so they pay closer attention this time. Might bring back the word fair in society, huh?
You know, just as "advisors". That's how we start most conflicts. Worked in Viet Nam and it can work for these kids too. Sure. Never ever thought I could feel this way but, until Mongol hordes show up here, is we noooo reason to go over there. Until we are committed to using massive bombing force juuuuust short of nuclear, there is no point. That and accepting some collateral damage. Have a exit strategy above all.
Lose your life for this country??? Not anymore. Not until we get some "minds right". I've got a kid that is a combat medic and I'm not thrilled watching the tube nowadays. We just don't prosecute wars like we should.
Maybe if we started sending college professors, politicians kids, immigrants legal and otherwise, über liberals to include Bill Ayers, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson to the FRONT lines then you know, maybe. I've got a feeling if we did that, there would be no more Democrats. They would simply be an odd group that gets egged at parades. But I digress...
I would fight for the British Isles obviously, ( have fought) I would also fight for the United States. That liberty thing plus a knowledge of their early history just does it for me.

If it was a war to defend the country from an aggressive force then I would see it as my civic duty assuming I was fit and able. If I was forcibly drafted into something like the Vietnam or Iraq Wars than hell no.
I don't think women should be fighting on the front lines, except as a last reserve when the situation is really desperate or if their home and family are under immediate threat, and I don't think in my country it will come to that anytime soon. However if it does, then yes, I would die defending it.
No. Never.
I would not choose to die for any country, because at the end of the day, countries are just silly human constructs that after dead...... mean nothing. Why choose to die for something that will mean nothing once u cease to exist?
We get this one life on earth, no country is worth dying for. My life is precious to me. I would not sacrifice it for a country... I rather live, even if my country were to be invaded and occupied by outside forces... at least I'm a live, rather than dead.
