If an army was invading - yes.
If the government told me go to die in another country - no way.

Erm... those in the Army don't really get a choice. I'd bet that most of them don't think they'll be giving their lives for their country when they join.

The no. of applicants sharply decreases when there is/just has been a war on.

If we were fighting a war against a modern day nazi party, but in the far east, would you fight for the good of the far eastern minorities or would you leave them to sort their own mess out?

True... nor me. I can't really give a clear judgement either. I wouldn't give me life, as it stands at the moment, which is probably why I didn't bother with the Army despite my Dad and sister going down that route. Civvy at heart, me. :)

dying for this country (ie. Great Britain and Northern Ireland) would mean dying for Wales, Portsmouth and West Sussex.

Overall I'm quite happy to see those places invaded. As they say, a change is as good as a rest.

But for EAST SUSSEX? I'd fight to the death (join the Kent Invasion Force here)

I would definately fight if we were under threat of invasion and our liberty was at risk. I fI was told to go and fight abroad, like Iraq, or a vietnam, for example then no f***ing chance!

East & West Sussex are merely boundaries drawn up by government pen pushers. f*** 'em...It's SUSSEX. You know how the song goes!

Fully agree with you rgarding the Kent invasion force. I believe Looney is going to be drawing up an army to take back Tunbridge Wells by force. They can keep the rest.

I have already done my stint serving as a Wren following on in my Dad's footsteps. He did 33 years in the Royal Navy including the Second World War.

Er no, the number of applicants actually rises, unless its after a defeat but even then it may rise.
