    I wonder what was the question asked.

    There is a difference between fighting for your country, as a soldier abroad, and fighting for your country, defending your family and friends.

    And politians still like to wave the patriotism flag around as if it means something. People want peace, want to be in their home, want others to have the same and that is that.

      Exactly. If I was asked to defend us or our European allies I probably would. Not that I would really have a choice in an all out war. But I would not want to deploy in the middle East or something.

        Exactly. It’s tiresome this constant hammering of the middle east countries,as an example. I sincerely hope we move as fast as possible towards clean energies to end the constant bickering over oil rights. It’s a stupid endeavour. If a tenth of the money poured towards oil exploration was to be diverted towards developing green energies there would be more energy and more job creation across the globe.
