Who is willing to go out and fight? I will. I have no military training. I have two broken knees. I’m considered too old to be a recruit.
But I know how to fly a helicopter.
Put me in the pilot’s seat and give me a nav chart and a target. I’m normally non-violent, but in this case I’ll fly an attach chopper with guns blazing right down the throats of whoever is responsible for this uncivilized act. Or I’ll fly heavily armed troops to battle in a cargo helicopter.
There’s no chance that anyone will ask me to do this; but I’d do it in a second.
I’m there… been awhile since I’ve started up the engineroom of a Fast attack Nuke submarine…but I think I can manage. Hell…just gimme a baseball bat. Better hurry up though…I may be “banned”
I won’t - I’m a registered Conscientious Objector and will not fight for religious reasons. I will say, though, that things like this make me seriously examine why I believe this way and if I should continue to - this is beyond horrible. I will, however, do what I can to help and support those who do fight.
However, I will shed no tears when those responsible are brought to justice, up to and including seeing them put to death.
My prayer is that violence will not beget violence, justice will rule, and we will not go to war. Sadly, I can’t see us not going to war, and justifiably so.
Today is a day of conflicting beliefs, emotions, and philosophies.
I have a bolt action .308 Win. I’m not all that great of a shot, but I’m confident I could take bin Laden out at 250 yards. And I will gladly do so if called upon. Killing a scumbag like that could only bring a person lasting, inner peace.
i’m nothing but a near-sighted, flat-footed girl, but if war is declared i will give SERIOUS thought to enlisting. this is my country and i should help defend it in any way i can.
but i’m really scared of guns and the actual real threat of war is making me sick to my stomach…
Who wouldn’t be scared shitless? The point is, would you fight?
I am a believer that if you do not have the will and courage to fight, then you are a slave wannabe. Put another away, there is no difference between a person who wants to be a slave, and a person who is not willing to fight for their liberty. No difference.
I will. I used to hunt squirrels as a boy, and I’m still a fairly good shot. I love my nation, and I want revenge on her enemies. I’m also muscular, in excellent cardiovascular health, and I can fight. Freedom isn’t free.
My ship out date into the U.S. ARMY was put on hold for a little while. My master sergent told me I would be one of the first picked to go. I am hopefull and confident I will get the chance to serve the U.S. by fighting.
