At least under the current administration. I will never go to war for someone I can't trust (which is pretty much government in general.. so I guess I will be going to Canada.. hoorah!)
The whole war thing is very immature and childish, these people need to grow up and realize that killing people is not the answer to anything.
Video games only..ftw
your posts here make me sick, without people who died so you could escape the draft you wouldn't have a choice of that. so just shut upRedTwizzler wrote:

I completely second that dude. Please just save us all the trouble and move to the kindler and gentler EU. I hear theyre always looking for a few low life pussies such as yourselves.theit57 wrote:

No, you just shut up. In a case like Vietnam? Hell fucking yeah I would have dodged the draft and gone to Canada because I have something I want to achieve in my life. If I had nothing I wanted to do with my life, I still wouldn't have gone because it was a pointless war, time better spent in jail. War in Iraq, exact same fucking thing. Do I respect the troops? Sure I'll say it to make you happy, on one side I feel bad for them, on the other, I respect them...theit57 wrote:

Personally I have much more respect for people who stand up and go against authority when they know something isn't right opposed to people who "fight for their country" when their country is the oppressor.
War is something the sick fucks high up in government do to please themselves imho, it should really just and in most cases could be solved with diplomacy, but killing people's more fun.....
I will never serve in the military, forcibly or by choice. It is because I cannot and do not use violence. I have yet to hear of a war where Canadians defended their nation's freedom, and I strongly support our soldiers' return from Afghanistan immediately.
My brother is looking to serve in the Canadian Forces, and I discourage him, but he is determined. I know quite a few people that have relatives in Afghanistan, and several have told stories of near death. One was on leave when his unit was devastated.

I wouldn't mind joining the Air Force/Navy as an Engineer of some sort. Other than that, i voted for the obligatory joke option.
I'm not currently in the military, but joining has become a more-noticeable option for my life in the years to come... if I did, I'd join the USAF. Piloting any modern jet-fighter as a career is one of my dreams... maybe someday....
i was out of highscool, active for 2 years in the army, with a dishonrable=[
spent time for a year in the brig while 9/11 happned. that day really meant something for me, you dont know what it's like to be in a cell watching that stuff on tv..

Don't fool yourself with the War of 1812. Learn the history. It was a war between two democracies, the United Kingdom and the United States, and no man's freedom was at stake. Canada was merely a place where it was fought; Canadians were hardly a nationality, nor were they the ones who truly fought. Our biased history trumps it up as a Canada versus United States battle. In the end, we weren't a small nation surviving against the United States, but part of an empire fighting an independant country. It wasn't the miraculous victory of a small nation against an evil imperial power, but more of a stalemate between the United Kingdom and the United States over minor disputes. In the end, the States gained territory (Maine).manitobapaintballa wrote:

Give my head a shake? I do not want my brother to die for a cause that will not succeed. That is the true dishonour to our soldiers.

I live in the EU and just because we like to "look before we leap", it doesn't mean we're "low life pussies".
Also, and I'll say this off the bat, I don't agree with the way Iraq war was started... it was all done on lies and goverment BS, just to get the civilians backing.
TBH, it should have beent taken care of in the first Gulf War, or it should have been said off the bat "we're going in to remove saddam from power, because he's an evil dictator bastard who kills innocent people".
So yeah, I DONT agree with this war, I AM European, but I'd do my duty for the Queen any god-given day of the week.
(and as far as Eu being pussies goes, at least our soldiers aren't refusing to go to the war.... unlike some US troops in the news eh?)
