Would you fight and die for your country? not your government,

No, I love my country but I'm a coward.

Offense: No.
Defense: Yes.

>>51511

Sure. Let's start with the IRS.

>>51511
I'm literally in the Army.

>>51511

If I was to join the military I'd do it just for the experience

really war is pointless but so is life

why not use some expensive military gear in some far away place?

I love my country, and I'm curious about killing people, and I wouldn't mind dying. But as an honest motivation? Probably not.

A couple days ago, no. Now, yes.

>>51517

Because it sucks. Ask a vet

What is a country if not the government? The territory? The people? Don't give a fuck either way, so nope.

>>51511
No.

I tried to join the military and was given a "permanent exemption" due to disability. Even though I'm "exempt" apparently I can still be legally drafted and would likely be high on the list if there was a draft due to my otherwise perfect physical and mental health record and generally outstanding qualifications.

So fuck it. I asked if I could defend my country and I was told that I wasn't fit for duty. I'll defend what's mine and those close to me, nothing more and nothing less. If they try to draft me I'll dodge.

If some other government takes over maybe they'll treat me like a man instead of treating me like a defective equipment. If that happens I might reconsider.

>>51578
I was thinking about this too. The conclusion I came to was everything you can survey in your daily commute. Anything bigger than this is not YOUR country but the invisible barriers imposed by your government.

>why not use some expensive military gear in some far away place?
Because this only happens when you're not getting shot at, marching with heavy gear, waiting, listening to incompetent officers shout at you for no reason, eating shitty food(Okay, depends on where you serve), waiting or digging holes.
Oh, and IEDs suck fucking dick.

defending my country? yes

>>51594
Not him if I ever joined the military it would definitely be the air force

Heck I would probably end up working as a programmer for stuff like drone flight stabilization algorithms.

>>51701
Is that sort of stuff developed in-house? Wouldn't they just work with government contractors that have security clearance? To me it seems easier for the government to hire some firm in that respect rather than try to train their own personnel to program that sort of thing from scratch.

>>51511
I'd do it for my people, so I guess so.

Depends on the situation and what exactly we're fighting for. If it's overseas for oil so a bunch of wealthy white old men can enrich themselves further, then fuck that. But if we were invaded and were defending our own soil, then most definitely.

call me a prude but i find it odd you specifically mention the "white old men" part.
It's almost like you live in a country as an immigrant and would like to propagate your own race while destroying the native population.

Just a thought.

>>52680
Or more likely he thinks that (((those at the top))) are white.

>>52680
Nah I'm native and white. Everyone knows there are no minorities in the 1%.

>>51511
I'll tolerate any system which gives me easy internet access.

>>51511
O-of course I would, Mr. Shekelstein.
N-no thoughtcrimes here.
