Poll: Your nation is at war

[Gauntes]

judging from my nationality, it's most likely north korea
Yes, probably...

 

[Comando96]

If its a world war scenario then yes. I'd join up as I have the intelligence to make it into the higher calibre rankings and classes or in general end up as an officer.

In short I wouldn't be the one going around stabbing people in the chest in a trench as I've killed so many people I've ran out of bullets. Even if I was killing I'd be operating some piece of technology.

 

[Da Orky Man]

I would if I could. Unfortunately, I'm, not allowed to. Spinal operation I had a while ago stops me.

 

[Ledan]

stay in college, get a degree, flight school, helicopter pilot. BAM! dun dun da dunnn dun....

SAM launcher from outside your radar range, GG. Even if you pop counter-measures, you're still going down.

Not with the new Swedish Thermal Camouflage

 

[thiosk]

Seems like my country is always at war.

 

[Leadfinger]

America is always at war. I'm already paying for it. Must I enlist as well?

 

[Nickolai77]

I have asthma, so if i do get called up for any major war i'll probably get a nice desk job 20 miles behind the lines, not that i would be complaining.

That's for tanks, not helicopters. Also, won't be that helpful against missiles guided by something else anyway.

 

[Lexodus]

War comes to me and mine? Yes.
Otherwise? Hell no.

 

[Tourette]

Being ex-Army and too old now for re-enlistment unless it was to train recruits, I would form or join a resistance group and do my part that way.

 

[MrPeanut]

Do we go to war against the west side of the border? then meh

the east side of the border? WAR HERE I COME!

If a draft was introduced I'd probably be able to defer it for my education.

When Australia had conscription there was no full deferment for students. You got to finish your current year of study and that was that.

 

[tzimize]

America is fighting many wars now anyway. push comes to shove though? I defect to Canada.

EDIT: you mean on the home-front don't you? I'd have the same plan as I do for zombies: hold up and protect those close to me but not involve my self to the front lines/ follow orders to my death.

More or less this: The immediate security of my friends and kin > my country.

 

[valvoline]

i would enlist immediately.

but i'm planning on doing so soon anyways, sooo...

 

[Lord Doomhammer]

If my government needs me to help protect my country I will help. As it stands my nation is in no immediate threat, so I have not signed up.

If I do wind up signing up it will be for Heavy Armor Crewman in the U.S. Army, probably not the marines.

 

[DanielDeFig]

Let's see...All my family and friends (myself included) live outside my country of citizenship(Our? Most of my friends aren't Swedish. But my family is). In fact, I've spent more of my lifetime outside my country of citizenship than in.

(Sorry OP, that dramatic intro simply doesn't apply to ppl like us. Unless there is war in the country we're in. But then we'll just move again)

I think we would just stay where we are, avoid whatever country Sweden is supposed to be fighting (Give me back that oil Norway!!![Anthropomorphic Sweden]), and wait out the war before visiting again.

Finally, I can't join any army, even if I wanted to, due to my handicap (Congenital heart problem).

 

[Laser Priest]

I think I'd benefit more from allowing the war to go on for a while longer.

During Vietnam I believe you could apply for student deferment. (http://australianinvolvementinvietnam.wikispaces.com/Conscription). Hence why I said probably, I don't know what it would be like this time around, but I can hope that the system would see the benefits of allowing me one more year of study. That said I'm also too old for the Nation Service they had in Vietnam (but not the outright conscription in WW2).

 

[Cutlesnap]

My country IS at war. In Afghanistan. And I wouldn't go fight that idiotic shit-war if my life depended on it.

I answered 'no' because your hypothetical is completely unrealistic. That's simply not how modern politics and war work. Your hypothetical has no bearing on reality

 

[Wintermoot]

I,m not army material and I think my country is run by idiot,s who aren't worth my life.
I would probably flee also I,m pretty sure the US is going to save my country (like they did in WWII) also my country is a member of the EU (meaning that they get help from all the other EU members).
unless of course they need a test pilot for something like this
