I refuse to take part in something that results in another human being dying. Sorry.

If your family were in danger...you'd fight.

Don't put actions on my situations.

Good night.

It would depend on whether or not my life depended on it (or the lives of my family and friends)

If we were being invaded, I'd fight to the last breath.

Joint Chiefs of Staff · Tue Dec 10, 2002 11:23 pm

I'd join and die if necessary. You wouldn't need to draft this guy.

Paft...everyone has a threshold.

What yours is is none of my business.

But I guarantee you....an enemy will find it and you will respond .

I haven't met a person in my life that will allow their ass to be kicked.

Well, I wouldn't dodge-- but there's no way I'd ever be put out into battle-- I am a weak, skinny out-of-shape person.

Hell yeah...and I'd be right by your side.

Nobody in their right mind wishes for war. I don't.

But if the situation required us to defend ourselves...we would all band together and do what had to be done...no more, no less.

If you go in with the mindset that all they are doing is messing with your head, then you'll get through with no problems...the ones that have the hardest time are the ones that don't realize that it's all a game...

There is a job for everybody.

You would do well.

Norm · Post by **Norm** » Tue Dec 10, 2002 11:33 pm

I would never allow my country to hoodwink me into fighting in a war like the Vietnam war.

A miserable waste of life all for nothing.

it was for a cause
the cause was preventing a country from being taken over by another country

in the gulf war we were protecting kuwait from being taken over by iraq

in vietnam we were helping south vietnam from being taken over by north vietnam

Yup.

And if you were scared Q....I'd let you stay right behind me.

Everybody gets scared. I get scared from time to time. But I know and am comforted that we at least have eachother.

I'm 5'8" and now weigh 200 even. I lost 25 pounds in the last 5 months tho my wife is feverishly trying to put more on me.

I'll be to my ideal weight of 180 by May with some luck. Age isn't helping me either. hehe

180 lbs. the good ol' days.

I would proudly serve my country in war what ever way I could...I would have joined the Navy right out of hig school, but I need to drop about 100 pounds first...

Will someone chew me out monday, wednesday, and thursday mornings if I don't go to the gym...?

Yep, they shoulda stayed with the bootcamp stuff in Full Metal Jacket instead of making essentially two episodes in the movie...the first half of the movie is MUCH better

I don't think they'd let go into battle

I am 100% deaf in my Left ear, only my right one works, so it could go out easily with loud gunshots and all

i wouldn't want to get in that situation

but i wouldn't mind working behind the lines as a computer repair person

anything i could do to help our troops
