After reading tons of literature from Holocaust survivors, I've decided there are things worth fighting and dying for.

Anyone who says differently should pick up a book.

Great that you've found a cause. My history knowledge sucks, but wasn't that 60+years ago?
Indeed it was worth fighting, but it's over. We won.

I'm no expert with my GoogleEarth, but I'm thinking we have to deploy to the Western mountain regions of Sudan.
No worries.

i would also have to say that it's hard to think of a circumstance under which i would go to war.

i could care less about borders; if japan tried to annex vancouver island, i'd let them help themselves rather than gun it out with one of my former students over an imaginary line.

fighting an artricious and clearly defined evil such as in WWII would be the exception. it would be a sacrifice of my values, like throwing my soul on a live grenade, but if it really were for the greater good i'd likely do it.

I'd be laying my life down ONLY on the homefront ( and for clear inarguable reasons )

We all must remain "on guard" against immoral IMPERIAL ( FOREIGN ) CRUSADES.

It depends on the reason my country is going to War. If its something like the situation in Iraq, I'd leave to the professionals. If it is more like what went on during World War 2 then yes I would.
