Exactly what I was thinking about when I started this thread, Bob. If only the Countries Leaders had to be in the Front Line wars would be much less frequent.

Only If I REALLY Believed that it would make any difference.... unlike the use of good men as cannon fodder in past escapades....... Bob.

No - aside from the fact I have kiddiwinks...... I couldn't point a gun at someone without thinking of their innocent family just because some politicians are incapable of communication.

I find it very difficult to see how giving a life is really going to defend a country? Today we live in a multicultural society and most people can travel or even live in any other country in the world. I cant even see why anybody would even want to invade another country!!!! If you wanted it so bad then why not try to move there (It would save an awful lot of lives!) I have to admit Im not politically minded at all. Suzanne

If it came down to me or my friends and family, again yes. I wouldn't sign up and fight! It would depend on the situation?? Difficult one!

If I were asked to give my life in defence of my family then there is only one answer. Yes, goodbye it’s been nice knowing you. But when it comes to my Country I would only be prepared to RISK my life.
