Would you give up your life for you country?

yep. proud to be a filipino.

my great grand dad died leading a band of guerillas. He was part of the USAFFE who escaped when the japanese took over tanuan, leyte. too bad he didn't get to see the liberation.

my other grand dad fought with guerillas in ilocos norte too. he told me all about it when i was a kid. he said he was so scared when they were pounded by artillery barrages for two weeks.

if in my lifetime the philippines gets attacked, i'll take up arms to defend the country, no questions asked.

walang mag-tatanggol sa bayan naten kundi tayo tayo ren lang.

kill or be killed.

now about those israelis, imo, our rotc and their trainings are different.in pinas what we do is march and march except for those students who are willing enough to train rigorously.and mind you, some nations, including this tiny island, rotc is not just a unit, they are required to stay inside a military camp for real military training and that is 2 painful years.and that makes them capable to face the real combat.

If you took an oath to be a citizen of whatever country you're in, they you better be ready to lay down your life for that country.

Of course, that doesn't mean we can't volunteer our services to the Philippines if she issues a call for help. I would. I'm still in pretty good shape. So long as it's clear that Uncle Sam owns my sorry b*tt.

pag meron lang gyera. pag wala di ka dapat maging civilian casualty, panggulo ka lang at siya ka pang alalahanin ng mga naka-uniform.

We can die ng walang kwenta. Like the story of Elsa and Lando. Better than dying a senseless death.

Joining the army to die for our country? Now this is senseless, since war is senseless. Negosyo lang ang gera.

I guess I'm not too surprised at some of the attitudes and opinions shown here. But at the same time, I've also been thinking of the Muslims down south and the passion they have for their cause. I may not agree with their cause. But, I sure have a lot of respect in their fighting ability and dedication. It's something other Pinoys should examine closely.

I would rather die while having ***..... Die for my country?......BS!

**jonski** · August 14th, 2007 11:14 PM

some politician in the Philippines makes it look like the country isn't worth dying for...anymore. So, I don't blame some of you who feels like dying for Philippines is a huge BS.

I ran into PAF, Phil Navy, and Phil Army officers where I am currently stationed at. Wow, the envy and respect that I felt when I saw them
