As a Canadian. If my government kindly asked me to fight and slash or die (and/or) for my country I would gladly do so. If you can't get behind what your government is saying then you should move to somewhere better suited for you. Not that I believe in the current status of war on our globe as is right now, but if they instituted a draft I would not flee, I would not run from it.
All living things are dying everyday. It is inescapable. War isn't the worse thing to happen to us humans. After all we are overpopulating this planet far beyond what it could hold already. Prolonging the inevitable starvation and extinction of our species. Perhaps a good world war is what we need. Kill off the weak and move forward as a stronger species with a better sense of what our actions do to our environment. Since we were born dead anyway.
Those that believe violence is wrong and that everyone should skip merrily along with out any altercations being well mannered to each other and sharing our feelings is part of the everlasting problem of where in the bloody F*** are we going to put all these people. Death is good business in the plan for staying alive.
If you were handed a muffin for no reason at all. No one asked "hey dude you want a muffin?" and were just handed one for no reason at all. Would you care if someone took that muffin from you. I mean it was just given randomly you don't even know what flavour it is. The only difference is that now you have a muffin should you care when it is gone.
Life is but one day and memories. We experience one single day at a time, and simply remember everything else we have done, as well dream of the future. Would dying today be the same as dying 30 years from now. Yes 30 years from now I would still not want to die but I accept that I will have to some day. Might as well go down swinging, why run for a dear life when you are going to loose it anyway. Why not stand tall and face it head on. Why not give your life for something worth while to you. If you can't fight on behalf of your country and the decisions it makes then find a new country.
No one ever asked to be born. You didn't know the rules when you started playing. You just got shoved into it and when its gone it will be gone. If you have nothing worth dying for you have nothing to live for. I would gladly die for my family my friends my lover and my country.
