Preston, CT USA I love my country and I would probably be willing to die for it for the right reasons. That being said, I'm very much against war. Jaden, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA If necessary. Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA I like to think so. I am sure I would die for my ideals. Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA no, but I would for a family member Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA No. "Because of" maybe but not "for." Alias Irrelevante Yes. If it were in defense of our civil liberties. Laura, 36
Lowell, MA USA No way. No chance. Even if they wanted me to (which they don't - DADT). etoile, 20
Washington, DC USA I would fight...but if I knew that death was inevitable, I wouldn't. Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA I am really loath to the idea of killing under any circumstance. Despite the recent events that have affected the US, I would find it really difficult to kill or be killed for the US. Then again, I have never really seen my way of life in danger enough to even contemplate such activity. Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA USA No. I'd die for my beliefs, and my beliefs are not always the beliefs generally held by my country. Johanna, 18
OK USA no, I would not. Dianne, 17
Ontario CANADA Not in the joining-the-military sense. Karen, 22
Marshalltown/Ames, IA USA Probably not. I would possibly die for ideals of my country, but only if I felt like my dying for them would make any possible difference. Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA If it meant protecting my family and friends...I think I might. Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA As devoted as I am to my country, I don't think I'd die for it. Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA Yup...not that I am looking foward to it...but, if necessary, that would be my bag... Sauron, 30
Mordor Probably not, but hard to say. Talia, 24
Wilton, CT USA Well, this is an interesting question. I would die defending my family. I would die defending my home. I would die defending the American shores. I would die to save humanity. I would not go to battle in the name of money. I would not go to battle to defend another country deemed important in foreign policy by our government. So, I suppose my answer would be I would die defending my country. I would not die just to be a tool for my country. Aaron, 22
VA USA Yup Frodo
age unknown, parts unknown I dont think i would, but it seems i may have no choice with all this crap going on. Ry, 23
NYC I honestly didn't know society is required to provide anything to anyone. I thought the whole idea was get a job and provide for yourself. Who knew? Aaron, 22
VA USA Before I thought not. But right now there seems to be a strong reason to defend our country. The attacks of Sept 11 was a direct threat, not some military operations overseas with obscure enemy. Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA I may not be in the army, but in the end, yes I would die for my country. Of course, if I was going to die to save my country for certain, of course I would! But if I knew hat I would not make a difference in the outcome, I would stay home. It's all about knowing that would happen when you were gone. Also, to whoever reads this, do drop off some thing at the Vietnam war memorial. Thank You. Derya Which one? I'm a dual citizen of the United States and New Zealand. Jonathan, 19
Brevard, NC USA If I had to yes. I would prefer not to. Celeste, 30
Colorado Springs, CO USA That's a very difficult question. It depends on the circumstances, what exactly I'm dying for, etc. I mean, I value freedom and liberty, but I don't feel like my country provides these things to everyone. There is still legal inequality, legal limits on speech (often under the guise of protection from pornography, speech about safer sex, fetishes, homosexuality, and birth control/abortion is not accessible to young people), legal limits on relationships(non-normative sex is still criminalized in some states). Also, I imagine that to die for my country I'd first have to be legally allowed to serve in the Armed Forces. Currently, gays and lesbians are not permitted to serve, so I guess I'm precluded from even having this option. Eric, 19
