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

[jones0430]

Basically you are willing to support a system that you view as more acceptable than another. Under these conditions you can find people to join.

All militaries depend on either economic, perceived threat to the wellbeing of the individual (defending ones society, home, etc), or mandatory goverment service to populate their forces.

Once you are part of a unit other forces come to the fore. In combat you aren\'t too concerned with the idealogical motivations. You are fighting for the family around you, your squad mates.
