[2sheikhs]

If you were ever asked to take up arms and fight for your country, would you:
A: Of course. It would be my civic duty.
B: A possible conscientious objector. Depends who the enemy is.
C: Under no circumstances. I'm a strict pacifist.

D. I'm too old.

D: possible conscientious objector; depends what lies I've been fed.

In the event of war, I'm a hostage.

A. though what the forces would want with a 42 yr old fat **** is any ones guess. Unless they had an anchor shortage for our remaining aircraft carrier.

B, unless they give me some kind of pulsar death cannon for a gun, then "A".

If there was a direct threat to invasion of this country I would want to defend it.

But I would never dream of risking my life for the sake of other countries that I never have a second thought about in my life just because they're going through a tough time or western governments want to exploit them for money/drugs/trade/land/weapons/resources. Tough titties to them. We've seen a history of this island being exploited by Celts, Romans, Vikings, Saxons, Angles, Normans we've come out alright in the end. I'm sure countries having problems in their countries now will turn out fine and dandy in a few hundred years too.

Suffering and turmoil happens. I'm not putting my life in the line for people thousands of miles away. If my family need protecting though, I will fight to protect them.

What's the pay like?

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.
