Would you give up your life for you country?

[Karding]

this is a dumb question....would you give up your life if someone tries to take your piece of land? Everybody would.

apparently, not everybody shares the same sentiment as yours. hence, I wouldnt call this a DUMB QUESTION.

Here, just in case you didn't read the entirety of the thread, I quoted the responses who did not clearly said "YES, I WOULD DIE." Some fellas evaded the question or has mixed feeling about dying for the country.

yung ibang responses may mga kondisyones pa, :evillaugh

Not if the president is Gloria. :D

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

I think the other thread mentions kung ok lang ibalik ang ROTC? And not about nationalism.

If I hate and loath ROTC, it doesn't mean I hate my country in the end.

I'm willing to kill for my country more than die for it.

"...ang pumatay ng dahil sa iyo..."

That's my sentiment.

66bunny, well said.

Sabi nga, and i quote...

"I want you to remember that no one ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. (Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.)"

And if i die as a consequence, then so be it.

"How would they have ended it for the students? No one made a stand against the corruption? Like a stand against an enemy?"

---- Kaya nga tinibag ang ROTC. Dahil walang kuwenta. Bulok ang sistema. Laganap ang corruption. Kaya, inalis. Tinanggal. Kung ibabalik man, gumawa sila na magandang programa at plataporma at hindi yang lecheng beauty queen pageant na naghihikayat kumuha ng mga kadete. Anong susunod? Mga artista naman ang magiging endorsees nila? Haay, napaka-showbiz talaga natin.

Siguro nung panahon ng erpat ko pwede pa.

My father is a WW2 veteran. Guerilla unit, Signal Corp. to be exact. He was there during the Leyte Landing (the biggest naval landing in history), he fought alongside with the americans and pinoys during the Japanese occupation. And I'm proud to be his son. He asked me then when I was a kid if I'll die for my country, I said yes, just like what you did.

If he was alive today and saw how the ROTC "degraded" the past decades, god knows what will be his reaction.

CAT officer ako nung HS. Balak ko ring mag-PMA pagkatapos ng graduation. Ang pinsan ko, isa na ngayong Kapitan sa Army. PMA graduate. Hinikayat niya ako nung high school ako na sumali, pero mas malakas ang tawag ng musika sa akin nun.

Kung magkagiyera bukas, handa kong itabi ang gitara at kunin ang armas. Kung maghikayat man ang army ng mga volunteers, itataas ko agad ang kamay ko.

Now if you still doubt my loyalty to our country, wala na akong magagawa. Siguro isama ko na rin na ilang beses na akong tumanggi mag-trabaho sa ibang bansa, dahil umaasa ako na uunlad pa itong bansa natin.

Tandaan mo, di nanalo ng mag-isa ang mga 'merkano sa hapon nung araw ng digmaan. Malaking tulong ang intelligence reports galing sa mga guerilla unit na mga pinoy.

Idealistic ako. Di ko lang maintindihan kung bakit ang ROTC para sa iyo ang kaligtasan ng kalayaan ng ating bansa.
