Depends on the reason. Not writing that blank check without a good reason.

At my age and in my condition, I doubt anyone would take my broke-down-11B ass.
I would if I could, though. Poland tops the list as they would need help most badly. |

I won't even fight for this country, much less another one. As a vet I kind of feel like that is a slap to the face. Please explain why you wouldn't fight for your country? Eh, isn't the whole idea behind a volunteer military to fight if you want to, and not because you have too? Who gives a shit if he wouldn't fight? More importantly, why would you want to force a man into a position he doesn't want to be in... he's not going to be as proficient as someone who wants to be there.

Israel. God bless Israel. God bless Jerusalem, the city of the Great King. Though all the world will turn against her, I will not.

None. I'll fight when the invaders are attacking our country. None of this world police crap.

Quoted:
Because I always thought we paid people to do that? Isn't that the purpose of having a professional military? If by some chance we run out of poor people or brown people wanting citizenship and they start a draft for old fat guys I guess I'll have to...but I'm not going to worry about it before then.

Loyalty to dead presidents, not live ones. Fuck you pay me.
In all seriousness, I'd fight for whichever country was paying the most, unless they were trying to do anything completely against my morals. I wouldn't fight for communism, or butcher civilians. |

The Confederate States of America(I would have enlisted had I been old enough in '61)
Texas(if they seceded tomorrow and fent against Mexico and the rest of S. America) Mississippi Republic If Israel was in serious danger of being overrun I would fo on a crusade and get medieval on some ass. I'm a Christian, not a Jew but I appreciate what they are doing. That's about the only foreign country I would fo for except maybe Canada(depends on what happened). |

When I looked into it it was 100% Jewish blood to serve Infantry or other front line roles. They would let non-Jews in support roles. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

First and foremost U.S. Maybe Israel but I'm not Jewish and I doubt they would allow me. That's an interesting thought, do they only allow the Jewish to serve? When I looked into it it was 100% Jewish blood to serve Infantry or other front line roles. They would let non-Jews in support roles. Yeah, there's actually some kind of program where gentiles can work for Israel in noncombat roles for like three months or something, like a working vacation. |

That's not my sentiment, I was just offering a suggestion for parrothead. To me, the Guard is a part of the UNITED States Armed Forces, and serves the whole, not just the state. |

Well when you do you'll realize that the guy above is full of it and Israelis come here all the time to escape their conscription. Just like any other country. Sorry If I caused any butthurt by my comments. As I said, I could afford my own college, could find a job on my own, and don't need citizenship, so there was no reason for me join the military. From all I've heard about it from others it's a pretty miserable experience most of the time, not to mention you occasionally get shot at. Who needs that? Not I. I applaud all who do though, good for you. |

Not many if I'm honest. I think the world, including our allies, are far too anti-us at the moment for me to want to lend a hand. Even when I was in England, the land that should be closest to us, I met loads of people who resented the US. I ran into a bunch of girls in Liverpool actually who started yelling at me in a bar while I was eating because of my association with America. "All those people die! You have loads of guns! Fuck America."
I'm not going to bat for them or anyone else that thinks they have a right to bitch about our laws and policies, rights and freedoms. Want to crucify me in public for your perceptions about race issues or firearms laws in my home nation? You can go fuck yourself...defend your own damn country. I'll show up when you get on your knees and beg for help and keep your fuckin mouths shut about the US. I've had that happen in a number of different countries. I can tolerate that sort of debate from our citizens, but not from others. I'm inclined to say Israel, but not over this stuff they're in right now. If the nations of the world rise up against them, or their existence truly threatened, I'm there. But I doubt they need my help...they've got nukes. I'd go to bat for the Vatican any day, and I'm not even catholic. That goes beyond politics, etc. and is for a much higher purpose. I'd give my life in defense of its walls if I had to. The rest? Fuck 'em until they mind their own damn business. I'll fight for the Stars and Stripes |

Might as well stir the shit just a little and thread hijack.
How many of you have worked on a political campaign? |

The Spanish civil war drew lots of folks from other countries. I'm a vet and even if I was younger I can't imagine I'd go to fight someone else's war. I'd defend the US. Except California. And New York. Maybe Texas but since they're all that, I can't imagine them admitting they need help.
