Would you die

If it really came down to it, and if it meant a better life for my family, then probably. But it would really have to be a crucial situation.

If my country was actually threatened, yes. But I'll be damned if I'm going to go die in the desert for another country/oil/whatever else the excuse may be.
 
No, I can't think of a situation where I'd be willing to sacrifice my life for my country. I mean, I can't think of a situation where my one life would save a nation. As such, nope, my country can go to hell, I'll go somewhere else.

I would agree.

I have nothing but the utmost repect for those that are serving, have served, or died while serving in our armed forces. It's not up to them where they go.

The way I see it is this. Freedom isn't free. It is the military in any country or its surrounding countries that preserve that countries way of life, its liberties, and freedoms.
I don't expect everyone to understand, or even be willing to make the commitment, or sacrifice needed, but thankfully for their sake, others are.
