edna Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I hate to die. But if I have to and I could travel in time, I could be a heroine and kill Hitler, even if I´ll be killed by his gestapo fans. I would save millions of lives. Not for my country but for mankind.

Uncle Joe Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Die? Not voluntarily. For my comrades? Yes. Kill? More likely. As for my comrades...I'd rather be paired with someone who is willing to kill for his country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Given the right circumstances, yes, I absolutely would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I would die for my family, but not for my country...not voluntarily, anyway. I do have great admiration for those who are willing to die for their countries. I'm glad they're out there, but my heart aches for their families.

Blue Fish Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I would never kill for my country, or America for that matter. Only Three things I would die for America My friends and family. My faith. Thats it. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTallOne Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 My country hasn't done anything to me that I would die for. Sure, I know it might be the "birthplace of democracy" and all that crap, but there's other places I could go and be just fine. That's why I'm going to get dual Irish citizenship, so if there is a draft in the next 10-15 years (which I am guessing there will be) I won't have to fight. It's not that I'm anti-America of unpatriotic, but being 6' 9", I'm the first one killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well if we both end up getting drafted, I'll be the 5'8" guy hiding behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 but being 6' 9", I'm the first one killed. that was very funny... It´s good to have two passeports from different countries. I know a bit about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSYCHOcatholic Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 As an American Soldier i am prepared to SAVE my battle buddies, if i should die in the process, then so be it. This is a cadence we used to sing... "If I die in the combat zone...repeat... Box me up and ship me home... Pin my medals upon my chest... bury me in the lean and rest... tell my mother not too cry... tell my father i done my best... Yeah, i could go on, but all in all, if i go to iraq, and im pretty sure i will. Im not there for me, im not there for my President. Im there for my Battle Buddies, to get through that one year without gettin my a$$ killed. And ill be coverin the a$$es of my buddies. Would i kill someone...well, ive been trained to, i guess if it came to it, i would. Nothing wrong with destroying the evil of the world, as morbid as that sounds. More from Paul later.
