Conscription. Would you fight?

[BoyBlue_1985]

Depends what the uniform was like.

Pink and laced with bad cat aids

If you're talking national service, when you have no option but to sign up, whether it's peace time or you're at war, then I'd be dead against it and willingly spend my time in jail rather than prance around in an army uniform for a year or 2 being shouted at by less intelligent former schoolyard bullies.

However if we're talking in the event of a World War, where every able bodied person could be asked to fight to defend their country and way of life then I'd likely, albeit reluctantly and shitting myself, fight for what I believed in. Having said that my eyesight is fucked without glasses or contact lenses so I'd essentially be target practice for any enemy soldier with a gun!

A: I'd have no problem with it if this country was truly in danger like WWII. I sure as hell wouldn't do it though to fight in some foreign land in some daft war the yanks probably started and has nothing to do with us like Vietnam (they had the draft/conscription).

If there was conscription then I would imagine that our borders are under threat so A for me. I think I'd enjoy Sandhurst anyway and it would be fun to boss a lot of our forum peasants around.

If you tried that shit on with this lot you would get shot in the back of the head and your corpse would be dry bum.

I've asked because I've heard people making statements like " I wouldn't fight for this country. It's a shithole now", to the green party stance of arming the public in the event of invasion to repel them. Arming the British public eh?.....scary!

I'd love to, but I got a ruptured spleen, And I always carry a purse, I got eyes like a bat, my feet are flat, and my asthmas getting worse, Oh think of my career, my sweetheart dear, and my poor old invalid aunt. Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a goin' to school, and I'm working in a defense plant.

I've got a dislocated disc and a racked up back, I'm allergic to flowers and bugs, And when the bombshell hits, I get epileptic fits, And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs, I got the weakness woes, and I can't touch my toes, I can hardly reach my knees, And if the enemy came close to me I'd probably start to sneeze.

Roy Cropper... is that you? ;)

To be completely honest? I'm a pussy who would shit my pants at the first sign of war. I have the utmost respect for soldiers, I could never do it.

I'll send our Hayley in my place.

 

[Carstairs]

A) Of course I would.

 

[Mustard Dave]

I would, but I'm alergic to corned beef.

If another nation decided it wanted to wipe us all out then yeah I suppose we'd have too. I'd probably end up accidentally shooting myself before I got near the enemy though !
