Who's a Total...
..Patriot?
so those who totally respect everything that thier country makes and would die to save it!
explaination:
1. armed forces means that you're in the army of you're a marine (or whatever)
2. civillian is clear, right?

Personally I think people have to be really stupid, or really mindless, to want to die because of decisions and choices made by someone else.

I thought was on topic, creatures. I am questioning the whole premise of dying for a "country".

It depends what was happening in the country. For me to die for my country, I would have to believe 100% in what we were doing.
(I had plans on joining the military after college, but as of late I am not so sure...)

aha, well in my opinion it's a bad idea to join (but that's me of course) i have to go for 3 months after school (kind of training civillians (only men  )) it's still our duty to do this (sucks a bit)
