Are you willing to fight and/or die for your country?

Once again I find myself quoting isoFlux.

And this is exactly why I would never fight for my country. War is simply an extention of the political game. No wars have ever been fought for purely moral grounds - not even the crusades!* Politicians need to incite the fevor and bloodlust into the population so that they will willingly go to their deaths and so will use any excuse possible.

*Offtopic but that comment INCLUDES Allied intervention in WWII. I know for a fact that Britain officially supported the Nazi party before the invasion of Poland. But as I say, thats off-topic.
