Would you leave the country to avoid going to war?

no, I would begrudgingly go.. Not because I wouldn't want to join the military I often thought about doing it.. But the fact that it would most likely deal with a war that I did not support to begin with.. The wars in the past 50 years have had little to do with its defense or trying to help people, merely to go after the governments political and economic interests.

If it was some intense war where survivability is 60% or lower I would definately head over to Mexico or Canada

Depends upon what the war is. If it's a just war and America truley is threatened, I'll do my duty. If it's a result of America trying to police the world, count me out.

I have a couple medical problems so I'm pretty sure I'd be exempt from the draft...but if I'm not exempt and I was drafted, I'd probably go fight.

I presume that if there was a draft then the war would be a serious one. So I would go.

You do realize that America has fought in wars that have had nothing to do with protecting it's citizens, it's rights, or it's freedom right?

I'm already in the Army (Canadian Army that is and am still going through Basic) But if there was a draft that would suck because it would probably mean the world is going to ****. Also would mean i would be one of the first to go wherever it is and would very likely be killed or wounded.

C-A-N-A-D-A Unless my life is actually threatened by an enemy, I'm not going out there to get shot. I would NEVER go fight in the Middle East, but i would probably do something if there were a "Battle of New York" or something.

Yes. I can't fight, I don't want to fight, I don't believe in the war being fought, and I would cease supporting a system that forces its citizens to fight.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. These two quotes sum my thoughts on patriotism perfectly..

I'd go, but only if I had some kind of support job in the army - military intelligence, communications officer, sniper, whatever...I doubt I'd make a good grunt.

How do you think this country was founded?? Patriotism my friend patriotism and religous freedom and other reasons but still if George Washington and others like him didn't just run like cowards did they? no they stood and fought for what was right I could easily leave if I wanted but I would at least fight for as long as I could to protect this nation
