War, Pro or Contra?

[Confuscious]

I was discussing yesterday about this, which is not only in Thailand but in almost every country.
Most of the retired expats are too old and will not be bothered with the problem.
But their children might face the situation where they are called to serve their country in a war.
Suppose that WW3 would start, how likely are you going to serve "your country" or let your children be "canon meat" for your country.
The people which I had the discussion with yesterday agreed unanymous that none of them would be willing to go to fight for a country that let them down for so many years. 
Your opinion?

The new Tsar in the Kremlin knows all about the youth in the West and their priorities. To defend the property of the 5% of the rich is not very high on their agenda.

The only coutry in Europe that can still motivate their youth for "a fatherlandish" war is Russia.

PS:   As the west has sent the most part of our military hardware to the Ukraine, it will be hard to convince the youth of the west to conduct any defensive warfare, equipped with slingshots and wooden clubs.

There were no wars declared last decades. Invasions only. 

Afghanistan invasion of US troops based on false pretext of 9/11, Iraq "war" based on that WMD BS etc. 

So legally if your country is not at the "war" you are as the citizen not obliged to "serve your country" [legally]. 

They'll have to use mercs and military groups, but cannot force you to "serve".

 

Also, foot soldiers? They don't last long. Why bother?
