    I have to ask one question before answering.In my case would this mean that my Countrys,Finlands democraticly voted government had declared state of war.And calling all the reservist in arms?Becouse i dont live in US and i cant see war between Finland and Iran anytime soon.We lack the long range transportation to attack the Iranians.

    Sure. If you don't live in the US just imagine you are called in because the US needs support and your country decided to back them up for whatever strange reason.

    I'd be hesitent, but if they thought the invasion was necessary, I'd go.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Unless I missed something, we've only ever lost those babies to friendly fire.

    An IED is not going to knock out an Abrams.
    Oh so it didn't happen last week then ?
    So that must have been a different Abrams that was wrecked in Iraq by two IEDs last week . So enlighten me , what other vehicle does the US Army have in its inventory that is also called an abrams MBT.

    You know thats funny , the Israelis said the same about their new MBT , they took them off the streets when they found out they were wrong .

    when iran/north korea gets nukes there is a good chance a bit of the world is going bye-bye. i don't want that to happen (unless its eire(ha(just kidding))) so we have to incapacitate there fighting forces...and what better to use than the undefeatable M1A1.

    thx for the extra info, doc. in the case you lay out, i'd not only not go, but i'd actively protest the war and the draft.
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    There cant be any strange reasons.In order to join any international conflict,Our laws say that the state needs UN mandatum to join any military operation abroad.
    So if the International community had given its support to a war against Iran and our Government had chosen that Finland sends in the Brigade im in.In that case i would go.I have no desire for war,Infact its terrible that should be always avoided if possible. I dont desire to kill anybody Iranian or others.But if my Brigade would be shipped in i wouldnt let down the men im suppose to lead in my platoon and stay while they would go.I wouldnt like it, but i would go.
    Call me what ever you want for it sheep,Nationalist or what ever.But that i would do.

    if Iran had the capabilities and were planning on attacking, i'll go strip the skulls of those horrible baby killing iranians, it must be done, cause if we fail to react then i have no doubt that the iranians will assault and destroy the Isrealis, and if they believe they can contend with the US and iran i see them attempting to dominate the mid east and strangle the US and europes oil supply.

    I'd jump on my white stallion and slay the Iranian Hordes with a single deft stroke of my sword. Well, certainly I don't like the idea of going to war, but if say, a Terrorist with a nuclear bomb went on blew up Baltimore or something I'd go, not because I'm the bravest man out there, or because of my sheer seething hatred for all Iranians, but to protect my family, and my neighbors, and their families, and their neighbors. I've never been a person who can justify attacking another over suspicions or high powered threats and political pandering, I'd do it for the ones I loved, and I'd make sure to hate every moment of it.
