Die for your country?

[looney]

East & West Sussex are merely boundaries drawn up by government pen pushers. f*** 'em...It's SUSSEX. You know how the song goes!

Fully agree with you rgarding the Kent invasion force. I believe Looney is going to be drawing up an army to take back Tunbridge Wells by force. They can keep the rest.

The rest can be torched, theres nothing worh saving east of TW and that applies to the north of kent as well, leyton, essex, suffolk and Nerdfolk.

...at this rate I probably will.

I would do to protect the family,but as a country no way as it doesn't feel like our country anymore.

whose is it then?

 

[gonzo666]

If an army was invading - yes.
If the government told me go to die in another country - no way.

yer im with mental

 

[berkshire seagull]

whose is it then?

You ask blair?
Its everyones country now and very open!

 

[Soton Seagull]

I wouldn't die for the will of politicians. Apart from specialised infantry, there is little need for land troops in major offensives as these seem to be predominantly airstrike based.

I refuse to be cannon fodder!

Die for your country? And just which country is that then?

There are too many good-for-nothing, sponging, layabouts here.
It's just not England any more. Close all borders to assylum seekers, what's wrong with the rest of Europe?
I grew up in England, it's more like a United World now.
Until it becomes England again, you've got to be joking. There's no way on earth that I'd die protecting foreigners.

 

[hart's shirt]

At the risk of sounding either rash or naive, yes, I think I would.

Although I'm extremely grateful to have lived in a time of comparative peace, it would allow me and thousands of other men to discover whether they really are as brave as their fathers and grandfathers were.

Given the alternative of growing older to face eventual death knowing that I lacked the courage to be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, perhaps death would be both the more preferable and honourable option.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Yeah i can just picture us going off to war while refuges etc are here sponging.

lucky our grandfather's didn't think like that isn't it? or perhaps you think they were daft to go off and fight two world wars

 

[Everest]

My father (God bless him) flew bombers in the war AP.

England has changed a hell of a lot since then. Would these assylum seekers die for England? I think not.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

I think we have a habit of romanticising the wars of the past. We have in our head ranks and ranks of gung-ho, for-queen-and-country, bull dog-spirited Brits lining up to go off, fight and die for Britannia. I wonder if in truth they weren't more then just a little pissed off at the prospect of being sent to their deaths in wave after wave for some cause they didn't properly understand, not through any fault of their own. I doubt they would have been any more eager to die for a government which did f*** all for a great many of them as many of us now. The difference is, they faced death if they refused to go.

This isn't in any way meant to discredit the efforts and achievements of our fathers - God knows they're all heroes, and deserve a hell of a lot more recognition than they get, but I think the idea of thousands marching gallantly off to unquestionably die for St George, is probably a little simplified, and in no small way belittles their courage.

well who knows. you've obviously made up your mind about them haven't you? funny, when i see all the layabout spongers the majority of 'em seem to be english

 

[Yorkie]

During the Second World War this country was full of refugees.

Free French, Poles, Dutch, Czechs who managed to escape and fight alongside our blokes
