I would die for my loved ones but not for a country.

johnd13

I'll also add that I'd risk my life to save someone's life if the situation called for it. I'm talking about sudden life or death situations tho. I'm not talking about giving somebody one of my vital organs or something like that.

But if my intervention would have no chance of saving them or if there was someone else better equipped to help that person, I wouldn't take the risk.

I've been posting on other forums and it seems like a lot of people say they are willing to die for their country, and they label those that would run away as leeches. so what do you think?

This. People fighting for virtual lines on a small planet is disappointing.

 

As for way of life, it is rather rare for it to completely disappear. Let it merge. :P

People like to find all sort of causes to die for.  What does that even mean?  To die for your country.

If my very way of life and my family were in danger, I would think about it.

But otherwise, I would die for my family, and not much else.

Country is not about borders or government per se but a way of life and people. So if an invading force was attacking your city....you would roll over and be killed along with family and friends? Interesting....

Yes. Or maybe not, I might be too much of a p*ssy. But I have great respect for those that do die for my country.

If by "die for your country" you mean the U.S suddenly gets invaded and I get gunned down trying to fend off the invaders who were after my life, sure. Otherwise, in any other scenario, I wouldn't...

That's kinda like dying for your country, but in a dumb way.

In the right context, yes. 

countries are a lot more then just what type government and what policies that government currently is enforcing.  They're home, and everything good and bad about it. and when it's existentially threatened, sometimes it is worth dying to protect.

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
