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

To briefly summarize (on topic) my last post (now new topic- thanx turbs & EK).
Wars are terrible, but sometimes they are better than the alternative. And that distinction isn’t always black and white, not even in 1939 when the now-so-obvious decision to fight Nazism was made.

I can certainly understand not wanting to volunteer for an almost-certain-death sort of mission, and even not being thrilled with the idea of joining the army and fighting. Personally I’m very grateful to be living in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But of course the question was “Are you willing to fight and/or die for your country?” And to that I’d say: if I must, yes.
