If the war was on our soil...yes.
-
No, I hate this country
-
Is defending your home or community from attack or invasion considered dying for your country? If so, yes.
-
Yes I Love my country and if I had to I would.
-
Yes I would in defence of my home and family in either country
-
Only if my country died for me first.
-
No, I would die defending my family from direct harm, but I would not die in a war defending my country.
-
I would die to defend/save my family and friends, but not for my country. I don't believe the people in power are truthful or caring in anyway, I think they think of people as cannon fodder.
-
I almost did, so I guess the answer is yes. At least 30+ years ago it was yes. Today if I was 18-25 years old, and able to serve, I am not so sure. I KNOW I would not enlist. If drafted, not sure if I would go or not today.
-
I don't think I'm quite that stupid. I don't think the USA is that stupid either. What are they going to accomplish with my death anyway?
-
When my country fights a war I support, I will willingly put myself on the front line. Until then, no dice Chicago!
-
Hell yes

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." George S. Patton
-
Possibly, but I'm more inclined to say no. The only person/thing I would die for in a heartbeat is my child.
-
They probably wouldn't have a good enough reason.
-
Yes I would, many of my family before me have, I would sacrifce all for the good of the whole, however, I am wise enough to know the differance of the welfare of my country, and the welfare of one mans agenda. For example, if you are familiar with the Spanish American War, you will find that the high cost we paid in that war was not worth the effort, and is a mirrored reflection of that of which we are now paying in Iraq... both of these instances are the agenda of one mans agenda, and not for the benefit of the whole. America, is not one to chose it's battles or it's wars wisely.
-
Hell no. What has my country done for me? Um let me see raised taxes, cost of living, interest rates, education, petrol costs blah blah then they go on public funded jaunts overseas and some foolish politician decides to go AWOL and insult the Prime Minister of that country.
-
I would if need be, sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Too many people have bought into their own individuality as being more important than the greater good. Selfishness has become too accepted in our culture, that is for sure.
-
no
-
Yes I would without hesitation,For my own personel reasons ,but mostly because I love my country and I'm not a WUSS.
-
I would that is why i joined the army when i was 17. At that age i realized other men wouldn't and were to scared to fight. So I decided to fight, everyday i fight for my wife, mother, brother, and my fellow comrades.
-
If called upon you bet I would. Freedom isn't free. It has a price and if I must pay thay price so my sons can have liberty then so be it.
-
Psh, no....
-
Yes I would.........but I should change my name to RUreluctantly...........only because I have a pretty good life and I want to live..
-
Seriously .. no ..
-
Yes, and came damned close.
-
Yes. In fact I hate America, but I would still fight and die for the people of America. I have nothing against them. I do plan on going into the military someday.
-
No
-
Never. I would let the other poor bastard die for his country.
-
I don't know - seriously.
-
I've a good chance on doing so here real soon. Hopefully I can reach level 15 on AB before then... Lol
-
Patton said it best : Your not here to die for your country, Your here to make the other poor dumb bastards die for theirs but if you have to die take as many of them with you as you can anyway you can ... But apparently I have no country just a bunch of invaders and rubber stamped foreigners voting themselves into what does not belong to them .... ~Nemo~
-
honestly, no i wouldn't die for my country(america). I would die to save a specific loved one in my family.
-
As a seventeen year old with numerous years to yet live, and experiences not yet had, I say gove me that gun. I will show you what others need to see. I would die so that I may save others that can see their familys and get to level fifteen on AB. :) Granted, I wouldn't be TOO happy about dying, but hey: who freaking does ? ( Well, I'm sure some are, but i'm too young to want to =P )
-
Yes i would,without hesitation.
-
I prefer this point of view.. “I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country” Patton
-
Nearly did but for the grace of God.
-
Been there, never quite done that but I would, yes. Also for my family :o)
-
All I can say through 1967-1968 It feld like my coutry was dtermined I should die that is,I fought like hell not to die with a drill sargent Huddelson I achieved his wishes sent as many souls to heaven and kept my head down and a full clip at the ready. Some how being lucky vc were bad shots or lady luck The land of the great PX.Arrived home pretty much intact.I hope my bros in todays war come home soon ,civilization learns peace.
-
I would die for my family and home, but just for my country? Hmmm......that's something I would really try to avoid. I'd much prefer the other guy to die for his.
-
Hell no Give up my life for 9 times out of 10 a war with impearlistic ambitions? Leave my son without father while those who install the world disrespect my family by not giving troops the respect they deserve? Even if they called for a draft I'll take my 5 years. Only way I'll fight a war for any country is if I whole heartly believe that my country was on the brink of death and chaos
-
Nope only dying for the family
-
Never. I would never kill nobody. And i think wars are pointless. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST GET ALONG?
-
Nope.
-
Ummm I JOINED the military ... I worked for CIA and the FBI ... So; what do ya' think ? Of course; anymore , the way that our country treats US anymore ; I've got my own doubts as to IF I would STILL be willing to put my life on the line for the good ole USA .....
-
Hell no I only die for my family nothing is worth me dying leaving my brothers without a father figure or if I had kids leaving them fatherless my loyality to my family overrides that of not just my country any country.
-
Yes, gladly, i am a nationalist and proud of it. My country comes first then every thing else.
-
without thinking. if you ask this question to another turks, they will all say yes.
-
There was a time.

Yes in a heartbeat without hesitation
