Scenario: Your country is under attack...

My first responsibility would be to do what I can to get my family to safety. After I've done what I can for that, I fight.

Too many factors to consider. Depending on the circumstances I may fight, run or just chill. I mean, it's difficult to imagine the military would use some college kid with a gun, as it would be little more than hindrance (and perhaps an additional bullet sponge) to people who by comparison spent years training for the job. Unless it was a really long war whereby I could be adequately trained, or a post-war insurgency, I simply don't see myself being of much use.

I'd grab my trusty Thompson in 1 hand, my Magnum in the other and strap the katana to my back.

then shoot/slice any baddies that get in my way. But ill probably end up getting shot by the first baddie that comes into sight.

Im not exactly an expert, but isn't most of the drug cartel warzone near the US border? If you were to go south far enough would you be fine?

All my family lives there though. Craphole or not, that's where I'll be going.

I wouldn't take issue with comparing a lot of medieval European warfare to Nazism.

Go into the woods with some supplies, then go all Red Dawn on their asses.

So OT, your country is under attack. Much like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. You see enemies fall from the sky, bullets fly back and forth, Neighbors and families being shot at and killed. You watch as everything you knew, love, and hate about your country crumble before you. You are now at the point in your life when you have to decide. Will I fight or will I run away?

Me? I stay and fight. I will pick up arms and destroy the enemy. I will protect what I love about my country. I will try to save my family and friends with all my might until either the enemy leaves this country or I leave this world.

So OT...What will you do?

It seems to me in the thread that Australians have more fighting spirit then Americans. What is going on America? We don't have the second amendment for nothingMgamerBD

I would Fight to defend myself and my family. I'm not very patriotic.

Do what my parents told me...

Fight because I'm not a coward.

Well that sounds easy.MgamerBD

No easier than bragging about how brave you would be in a non-existent war on an online message board.

Unleash the eve(SKynet) virus.She will become self aware and nuke everything.

That way everyone dies and machines can rule for a change.like the matrix.

whenI am threatened.

Its pretty logical, really: I lack training in military tactics, and while I was a pretty good shot at the range, I've only been a handful of times and have never fired a fully automatic weapon before.

So, if I were attacked while I was on my way to some remote town or cabin, then I would try to escape. If I could not escape, I would fight, and problably die, but hey...I would have no choice.

I feel it'd be pretty easy to avoid confrontation in a country as large and spread out as the US. In modern times, no one really invades simply to oppress people, that is a byproduct. People invade because they want something, such as oil, political goals, etc.. It sounds stupid, but if you leave them alone and avoid them, chances are theyre not going to bother with you.

Anyone who doesn't fight is a cowardimaps3fanboy

anyone that does fight is an idiot (excluding trained soldiers, etc)

see what I did there? Its called a generalization.

I would fight for my family and immediate friends. If everyone did that, then the sum of those individual acts would benefit the country as a whole in the end. Why would I fight for a country when I A.) dont have faith in our political system, and B.) dont know most of the people?

Fighting for something as vague and large as a "country" is just overly idealistic.

And its like Patton said...nobody won a war by dying for it. They won the war by making the other guy die for his. Personal sacrifice, if it does not achieve martydom, is stupid and pointless in all but very rare occasions.

Sacrifice for your country is utterly idiot. It is the epitome of being an idiot

Since I'm American I would fight for my country and freedom. Its either they go down or I go down.

In this case it is. If a man has none of the necessary physical and mental conditioning or combat skills to even stand in the way of an invading army, and he decides to throw himself at hundreds of armed and armoured soldiers just so he can get off on the idea that he's gonna get slaughtered like cattle for a flag instead of some other dumb reason, then I'd consider him a failure of the evolutionary process. Of all the ways to help your nation resist an attacking force, "get pumped full of lead in the first three seconds while maniacally screaming patriotic buzzwords" doesn't sound like a very productive method.

Lots of yanks and canadians actually live there, you could live a perfectly normal life. Not everywhere is dangerous...seriously,,

Depends on who's attacking. If I don't particularly care for the invaders, I hide. If I like the invaders, I defect. Either way, so long as I live, the outcome matters not to me.

I'd probably side with the enemy. Suppose that depends on which country is attacking though.

Sign up for the armed forces. I may not value my country, but I value the people within it, and would feel proud to defend them. Though, I may do better as a guerrilla than a grunt.

yeah on second thought that sounds kind of good. There is a certain romanticism to being a guerrilla, much like the French Maquisards during WWII...roughing it out and fighting the enemy. Provided you had good leadership, I think it'd be a good deal. I'd problably end up being the cook or something, and would pick up the rifle when needed :P

But yeah, joining the military sounds like a good option as well.
