Would you die for your Country?

Well the wat things are going now in my country, it seems like i will..Lol. Now seriously i do not think i will die for anything, but i did join the army for 3 years and i do live in israel, so i guess i will. This is a very confusing question to answer to, i just know that my country is very important to me, and i would do alote for her. i also know that every 18 year old kid joins the army here, and that means that there is a chance that he will die for this country.

Well Lightnin Honey this is a very good question and my answer is - I'm not sure! I know I would give my life for my kids in a heartbeat so if dying for my country would benefit their lives then yes I would! If giving my life for my country was a political gesture that was of no real benefit then no I wouldn't! I think what I am trying to say that it would depend entirely upon the circumstances - sorry I am so vague here - just trying to be honest! xxx

If it meant my children living in a better, safer country then yes I would. It would not be something that I would want to see happen but if I had to I would do it in a heartbeat.

i'll die when i feel d cause is worth it. i wont give up my life just coz some1 says dats its for d country. when d need is rgt i'll do dat wid a smile

No - sorry - absolutely not! I am not a patriotic person at all. The only things I love are my own family and friends, and though I would like to say I would lay down my life for my loved ones (don't think you can say you would definately do this until you've ever been put in that position), - I certainly wouldn't do it for my country. Maybe it's because I am of mixed roots myself. Whilst born in England with an English Father, - my Mother was from Belarussia, and her family were originally from Moscow in Russia, so I was bought up with quite a "mixed identity". Also, my partner is from Argentina with strong family ties in italy - so we are such a mixture, that I don't feel strongly about any particular country - more a citizen of the world. And certainly I don't feel committed enough to die for anything! Cheers.

Seems you have a copycat Lightnin! I'll leave it to you to take care of it. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1182793.aspx But to answer your question, to protect my country if it were invaded? To protect our families and way of life, yes I would.

i guess depending on why i have to give my life for the country. i would prefer not having to, but i think if i had to i would.

I've taken the oath more than once, so yeah, I would die for The United States of America. I went to Desert Storm ready to die for Kuwait. I did search & rescue and ran ambulance in the inner city, so I'm even willing to die for a perfect stranger.

Me, my answer is NO!Life is wonderful and i wont give my life to anyone or even to my country.I will surrender if it is only God's will.Because God is the only one who owned my life.

Dying literally for a certain country may not be a favorable thing to do for some. Yes, I am talking as an ordinary citizen only. However, for our soldiers, police and those engage in surity matters, they must always be ready everyday to give their everything for the country. Nationalism is not just dying for the country but more so living a life for the good of others or fellowmen. We need more of that living heroism rather than the dying one. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Yes, i would die for my country, it is very important to me my country I love you. best regards

No,i don't think so,i will die for my love.

I think that i would not die for my country because nothing worth a life. ;) Cheers.

I would die for my country provided that my country was worth dying for at the time.

NEVER!,,,maybe just maybe if something happens to my country,but i dont think so. I think i would just go far!,far! away from my country...

It is actually a complex question lightnin. One that i have trouble thinking about a response. In general my first response would probably be no. Not really. But it really depends on so many things. Were people in my country suffering, being killed, loosing human rights? In that case maybe I would .Not necessarily die, but fight for it and die if that was my fate. On the other hand, if none of that was happening and my country had just lost it's independence somehow but everything was the same, and there was no cruelty or any loss of rights, then the answer would probably be no. It would not be important enough. Throughout the ages this happened in so many countries and that's just the way it goes. In some cases it is even beneficial - I"m thinking for example way back when rome invaded the peninsula. WE didn't like but it brought many benefits in the end.

I am not the patriot kind. I live in Brazil... Do you think it would be worth, dying for my country? Come on, people kill people in here! People steal and robber everyday! Is it worth dying for this? I think it would be much more worth studying hard and getting a job, and then donating to help my country develop. Then we're talking about something worth.

that would depend on the situation. if its wartime, my country is invaded by id!ots, then yes i will take up arms and willing to die for my country. if my country decide that if i strap a bomb around my waist and go to another country to prove a point, no i will not.

I would give my life for my children and my family in a heartbeat, this much is for sure.But I would not lay down my life for my country.At one point and time I probaly would have, but right now there is no way. this country seems to have turned its back to those that really need its help.So no way would I do this.

I will if it would benefit majority of my fellow countrymen or it would give my family honor or security. It's very rare for someone to have an opportunity to do something heroic. If that opportunity comes to me, I'll grab it. I always wanted to be part of something.
