Let's say your country needs you, war is imminent. They have dropped ALL restrictions in the Military. No age, height, weight, sexual orientation, male/female or religious strictures. AND, you have no job in a poor economy. They offer beaucoup benefits. Stratospheric salary, vacations, and a 2 year sign-up. Would you go?

If it was a worthy cause I would certainly consider it. Anything for a buck.......

I would really have to be down with the cause... This is necessary.

I would really have to be down with the cause... This is necessary. This, I would really have to agree with the reasons but would probably have to be something in the medical field as I seriously object to taking another life (except in certain circumstances and war wouldn't be one of them).

Ahhhh, I was wondering, altruism or money? Or both, or neither. My answer too bhernandez and bushidobillyclub :-) And Debbie, I think you're feeling it right now, you are in great shape, they would probably make you a Full Bird right off the bat, I could see it. SmokeyB, keeping the pride alive seems fitting :-) Pucker, of the Canadian Mounted Drones...I dunno. You made me think newark (here's the finger for that) but it is true, you can combine altruism with payment. A 'good cause' would win over a 'bad cause.' Thanks :-) And RavenouSin, another for a good cause along with 42BlackBBW, seems pride of country still matters.

This, I would really have to agree with the reasons but would probably have to be something in the medical field as I seriously object to taking another life (except in certain circumstances and war wouldn't be one of them). Again, this is why I say the cause needs to matter. In most cases, I'm personally anti-war.

Nope, I'm way too old. And I'm not a fighter.
