would you be willing

I just wanted to know how many of you would be willing to fight if we went to war. I'd be willing but I'm only 13. IN a sense I'm glad because I'm safer, but I'd be willing to help. How about you guys?

Well, I'm 15 and I'm flat-footed(I hear they don't accept you if you are?), but I don't want to sound unpatriotic but I probably wouldn't unless it was serious. I'm sorry but I'm more of a thinker than a fighter. I also don't think I could handle it.

No I would not because I know the reality of war. I am not willing to give my life for this. I'm only 15, thank god so I am protected from going. I would help out in the war effort, but to give my life is simply too much too ask.

Perhaps some of the elders on this page can help me out...I heard that a draft during non-war is 18-25 yrs old, but during war times is 18-35. Since I am 24, I have no choice but to fight for my country. As far as being willing...I wouldn't be refusing. I wouldn't be running away. This attack has affected me, even though I wasn't personnally linked to any of the victims.

And to be off topic for a second...funny ho the topic of this poll has to do with being willing to fight for your country, and listed in Games. No offense to who posted this or to the mods, but life is not a game, and war is definitely not a game. Maybe an entire category could be created just for the recent attacks on the WTC an the Pentagon. Call it (as the media has) "America Under Attack".

I'm 14, and I would not be willing to go to war. I'm not trying to be unpatriotic, and I would support the US if we take military action, but I have no intentions of being in the front lines.

I am 25 and I would prefer not to be sent to the front lines if such a war began, but I feel this "war" will be a war of intelligence in that it probably won't ever come to the point of warring countries. We are targeting individuals, not countries...but a country harboring them (Afganistan for example) may cause this to get a little ugly.

I am female and 26, I know they don't draft women but in this day and age they might start! I would, or if they asked for volunteers I would go. I have really been effected by this whole thing! I don't have any friends or family that I know of that were killed but It still has hit me hard! My Grandparents live and hour and a half north of the city, I have grown up going back and forth to NY!I would be willing to give up my life for my fellow Americans and never think twice! I think about the plane that crashed in Pa, and I totally respect those passengers on that plane for what they did, I would have done the same thing by taking the plane down! What did Spock say on Star Trek - He said THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUTWAY THE NEEDS OF THE FEW! I agree 100% with that!!

flat footedness is one of those clauses that will make you not get picked. You have to be 17 anyways. I'm 14(will be 15 shortly though) but have some health problems that would keep me out anyways. I couldn't say for sure I'd want to, I just couldn't picture myself killing people...unless they were from Philadelphia(j/k)

Im the only male in my family and my father and grandfather were both the only child in there family so I cant be drafted, but I would like to join the US Coast Guard. My great grandfather was a pilot in ww2 so i would join that if i could enlist. I would probably high jack a bunch of bombs and NUKE Osama myslef and with the reward money fo killing him i would use to pay my bail for high jacking nuclear weapons. Though they might giv me the chair, o well.
