Would you fight for the country?

Would you fight for your country?

It'd be a very bad situation if the country needed me to fight for it, but I would.

I'd make a terrible soldier though.

Either way, it's very, very unlikely to happen.
 
I would fight so my kids wouldn't have to in the future. I would fight if we were invaded or under threat of invasion. But I wouldn't fight for government or King, because they wouldn't fight for me.
 
Nope - send “The King” to fight their “King” - much better idea, hopefully kill two birds with one stone
 
I would yes
I have a keen sense of Duty and am almost obsessed with remembrance of fallen soldiers of the past.

I feel I couldn't say no.

I feel I would be feeling cowardly if I'l didn't t

Maybe that's my age and my families link to previous wars

Who knows.
That's my own individual.opinion

Putin...bairdy is coming for you

He will have fu*&ing massive donkey ears once I've sorted him out....

You don't fight for the country. When you sign the dotted line you swear allegiance to the King or Queen. You fight for them. If you don't swear allegiance to the King or Queen you are not allowed to join the forces.
By the way, it's not that long ago that Cubs and Brownies had to swear allegiance to the queen.

Akela I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to God, and to the Queen, to help other people, and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
I remember it well as a cub in the 1960s . DYB DYB DYB😀

I remember it too but it wasn't in the sixties for me. I never made it to the dizzy heights of sixer. I was the seconder in green six and that's as far as I got. Could never understand why they made such a fuss about checking that your hands and your nails were spotless during inspection only for you to spend the next half hour playing crab football on a filthy church hall floor. Very odd.

I only went to cubs for the games and stuff (including crab football). I wasn't interested in the badges or 'promotion', but was eventually made to spend a whole meeting with the Akela getting some badges. I remember catching a ball and drawing Andy Capp for two of them.

Turned out the deputy Akela (?) was a paedo and used to prey on young cubs during weekends at Sheep Dip cottage.
I went there twice but I can't have been his type thankfully. Though he did make me walk back through the woods one night to retrieve a toy car package I dropped on the way back from the village. Gives me the creeps thinking about it now.

Bloomin heck, that's pretty grim. I only went because some of my mates were going there and I never bothered going on to scouts after that. I'd had enough of it by then.

Same.
And I was told the scouts would make me climb a rope. Which I just couldn't do. And still can't probably.
So I would definitely be a crap soldier anyway

I'd discovered girls and music and started playing guitar by then so fannying around playing daft games and saluting flags and all of that nonsense didn't really appeal to me.

My back is screwed now so I'd be a crap soldier too. It was probably all that crab football that did the damage.
 
As my avatar shows I am not against fighting back, if someone is trying to take my freedom away.

Unfortunately joining the UK Armed Forces right now leaves you open to being sent to dubious foreign wars often fought for the political and economic interests of others rather than those of your own community and family.
 
If it was actually people approaching uk borders , maybe...
Otherwise I'll join the same pay grade and level of active service as the nearest and dearest of our current serving government..
 
As a veteran I spent 28 years training for war during peacetime, I hope it will never come but Putin needs to be stopped at all costs, not just for Europe but the whole free World. Looking towards fast forwarding to the bunker scene and a 9mil to the temple for this megalomaniac, but HIS people need to be rebellious and bring him down.
 
Only on these shores if threatened by soldiers on the ground - I'm not fighting for these a$$holes in power or for the monarchy or elites.
Still be a waste of time though and I'd bet that 90% of casualties would be through AI / Drones or insanely clever rocket control.
From another thread last week I think, I repeat "men cannot fight AI controlled machines or robots"
 
It would be like an episode of Dad's Army if you sent us lot. 🤣 🤣 🤣


Captain Mainwairing - borolad259 (He's got to be Captain Mainwaring just for his 'The End?' thread)

Sergeant Wilson - HarryVegas (Always seems laid back and quietly questions other's opinions without offending, "Do you think that's wise, sir?")

Private Walker - TheFragranceGuy (If you want to know or buy anything, he's your man)

Lance Corp Jones - roofie1 (His army picture said it all)

Private Godfrey - Juninhoburger (He reminds me of a shopkeeper)

Private Frazer - Defebder 4 x 4 (We are doomed after every defeat)

Private Pike - atypical_boro ('Stupid boy' - just an age thing 🤣. I once said he didn't fully understand something because of his age, so he had to be Pike)

ARP Warden Hodges - Nobby_Barnes (Nobby's Notebook rubs some posters up the wrong way, just like Hodges does. I like it and keep it going)

The Vicar - Aet290204 (I always get a mental picture of Leonard Finch (Grantchester) when I speak with AET)

The Verger - TheLodger (Just for his council work)

As for me, I would be Gunner Harold out of It Ain't Half Hot Mum. I look like him when I have my shorts on and even call a beige pair I wear 'My Don Estelles.'

All of the above is just a bit of fun and not meant to offend anyone. If it does, please let me know and I will remove it.

Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think we're on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game.
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think old England's done?
Mr. Brown goes off to town on the eight twenty-one,
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun.
So who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,
If you think old England's done?

The people that the tories care nothing for, would happily return to slavery and don't care if they die are the very ones that this government would want to conscript.

Your king and your government cares nothing for you and I. I would suggest the working man returns that favour.
