Only if it was in defence of my country, like in Afganistan. If I was drafted to defend Haleburton workers in Operation Pimp Iraq, I'd go to Canada if I could make it that far otherwise I'd go to Mexico since it's closer.
 
No offense but your options are kinda wacked.

Why can't I choose "yes to defend my country if invaded" without advocating the invasion of the world's only superpower?

:crazyeye:
 
Fine. Replace the USA with Your Country's Name.
 
well, I suppose i would, but it depends on the exact circumstaces- namelly, if I agree with the war or not- as such, I didnt vote on this poll
 
Second option, but remove "imperialistic." That's not the only kind of war I might not support.
 
Only if the foreign Army has set foot on Irish soil... wait a minute :p ;)
 
Wars:

American Revolution - Yes
Mexican-American - No
Civil War - Yes
Spanish-American - No
World War I - No
World War II - Yes
Korea - No
Vietnam - No
Gulf War I - No
Gulf War II - No
 
Yeah, I probably would. If it looks like I will be drafted I will join up with the military of my own free will so I get to chose my position.
 
I would definitely go because I am planning on joining anyway. I would much rather be an officer and help drive the machine. I don’t support conscription because they are often unskilled hippies who will get everybody else killed! I want to lead willing men, not baby-sit those who would go AWOL.

American Revolution - Definitely
Mexican-American - Yes
Civil War - Yes
Spanish-American - Yes
World War I - Yes
World War II - Definitely
Korea - Absolutely
Vietnam - Yes
Gulf War I - Yes
*Gulf War II - I hope its not over before I get in...

*I should add that even if I don’t agree with the war I want to help out in hopes that I can make a difference.
 
Considering all of the benefits I get from living in this country and under this government, I wouldn't be so rash or ungrateful as to completely shirk my responsibility as an honest citizen to give them my assistance should it be required. I don't take my liberties for granted.
 
If I got drafted, I would go no matter what. I would volunteer to fight in a war like WWII, and may end up volunteering for this war after I finish college (so I could be an officer).
 
Yes, and I would do my best on the test so they would ship me off to candidates' school.
 
I would fight in any war my country (not the UN or wishy-washy NATO members) needs me in.
 
If there was going to be a draft, I would gladly enlist. I have recieved the benefits of living in this country, and I would fight to mainain them and pass them on to others
 
Certainly- if my country needed me i wouldn't let it down. It is unlikely to happen however if i was ever called up to serve in Iraq or somewhere else i'd go and be proud to serve my country.
 
If American soil is being invaded, then I would go, but other than that, no.
 
if it was in defence of my country even if it was in another country's soil, i'd go. or if i supported the war if it was in defence of an ally that has a democracy. so if Kuwait gets invaded, i wouldn't go.
