If the United States were invaded, would you enlist?

If suddenly, you wake up in the morning, and find that another country has invaded in an act of war, would you go ahead and enlist, wait to be drafted, or just hope that being old enough will protect you from war?

My initial reaction says I would enlist, but it's hard to say for sure.

if the politicians and the rich folks kids don't - then no.

i'll just hire 5 mexicans to do the fighting for me. Then i'll rent advanced chinese weaponary. Outsourcing warfare is the future bitches!

I'd let the trained people take care of their end but would be willing to die defending my daughter.

The flaw in this line of reasoning is that you have to save yourself in order to save her, because you have no way to ascertain that your sacrifice was effective, after the fact.
 
Oh and if Australia was invaded, by some degenerate New Zealanders or something, I would definitely join the guerilla resistance and start blowing shit up randomly.

Always wanted to do that anyways! :D

if the invaders continued my UE then i'd proly chill
but if they fuct with that?
better watch out
 
I'm just curious, how many of you have actually fought a war, or know someone who did or died in a war, or even have held a gun? :) It' easy to speculate, but when push comes to shove, it's a whole different animal. I understand sense of patriotism, but from someone who comes from a third world country, who was raised during war, and lived through war, both foreign and domestic, and have "experienced" war, I'm telling you, it's quite different when it's on your own soil and it's coming for you.

so i can't decipher this, are you saying that those claiming they would join up and be heros would really be pussies and run...or that those saying they wouldn't join up really would have no other choice but to do so?
and glad you could make it to n/america, hopefully it is peaceful here
 
Depends on who is invading, I may very well stand outside with a big sign saying "WELCOME TO OUR NEW OVERLORDS!!!"
 
Technically, the Army can bring me back into service almost indefinitely but it would require this kind of scenario.

However, it's a Prussian tradition to return to service when the state is under great duress...

Blucher @ Waterloo comes to mind...he was in his 70's...

"After the war he retired to Silesia, but the return of Napoleon from Elba soon called him back to service. He was put in command of the Army of the Lower Rhine, with General August von Gneisenau as his chief of staff. In the campaign of 1815, the Prussians sustained a serious defeat at the outset at Ligny (June 16), in the course of which the old field marshal was repeatedly ridden over by cavalry and lay trapped under his dead horse for several hours, his life saved only by the devotion of his aide-de-camp, Count Nostitz. He was unable to resume command for some hours, and Gneisenau drew off the defeated army and rallied it. After bathing his wounds in brandy, and fortified by liberal internal application of the same, Blücher rejoined his army. Gneisenau feared that the British had reneged on their earlier agreements and favored a withdrawal, but Blücher convinced him to send two Corps to join Wellington at Waterloo.[1] He then led his army on a nearly endless, tortuous march along muddy paths, arriving on the field of Waterloo in the late afternoon. With the battle hanging in the balance Blücher's army intervened with decisive and crushing effect, his vanguard drawing off Napoleon's badly needed reserves, and his main body being instrumental in crushing French resistance. This victory led the way to a decisive victory through the relentless pursuit of the French by the Prussians. The allies re-entered Paris on July 7.

Prince Blücher remained in the French capital for a few months, but his age and infirmities compelled him to retire to his Silesian residence at Krieblowitz (now Krobielowice in Poland), where he died in 1819, aged 76."
