beautifulthailand99 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Like the rest of the HiSo that run/own the country I would buy my way out of service - and do as the world over does let the poor who have rather more limited options do the fighting and dying.

bigbamboo Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) LOL. i would not even fight for the country i was born in. gimme a break. life's too short and fighting is a bore. I'm glad you weren't around in Great Britain in 1939. Hitler would have loved you. Edited October 6, 2013 by bigbamboo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nontabury Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I would only fight for Thailand if it was to defend my family. However, if there was a revolution, where the poor rose up against the rich and corrupt; count me in. So your communist then ?.... That would not make you a communist, it would make you someone willing to fight for justice and equality, as in the French Revolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nong38 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think I might go native here and see who were most likely to win before choosing sides. If the Thais are going to win any battle, it would need to be a situation similar to the Alamo. Which side would be the Thais? Well, they fought the French... and won Most people have fought the French and won thats why their history books have a few pages missing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs browns boy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 seriously, im in trouble from the start . 1 bottle of chiang and my head is in a tizzy. now , some honest souls have put their families as their priority for taking up arms and willing to defend "them". others have cynically and in my own opinion quite intelligenently said "no way jose" to our most reluctant temporary hosts. do we love thailand and its people, YES. do we want to fight and possibly "DIE" for those of the elite who will inherit greatly from our sacrifices. NO. now for my next history lesson.lets just imagine ,your British. your country needs you, so says Tony blair,george bush, etc etc etc. lets go send afghani children , women, old people , backto the stone age. no problem?now, if you are a citizen o the the good old USA, bless them ,i love my Brit and Us friends and neighbours all. they are not some rich dudes and upper class twits. do they agree with tony and george.NO, in the main. so , why would anybody want to take ordersfrom somebody who has no intention of treating us like anything but cannon fodder for the already rich elite to benefit in the long term.. i do not subscribe to any political persuasion, but at myage i have seen and observed the outcome and consequences of lots of conflicts and all i can say is our own countries treat us like s.. t so why would we expect our adopted place of residence TO be more decent to us and our families here. by the way, i am irish and seen the ridiculous outcome to over 30 yrs of "whatever you want to call it". so many inocents dead, crippled, destroyed lives o both sides .end result, the protagonists all end up in bed together and trade insults in a parliament instead of bullets and bombs.god , they make me sick. fight for any sychophant,s cause. now way JOSE. forgive me my little rant i suspect this question was submitted tongue in cheek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon210 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well, Thais make us feel enough a foreign body in their midst for me not to have any respect nor regard for this country or its "institutions". I would just get the hell out of here and let the Thais get their first taste of being defeated and occupied. Maybe their mindset will change when foreigners make them feel as trash. Admittedly, would take quite a long time, given several wars with Burma did not teach them anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the bomb disposal quotes. Checkout the airforce general that said, xxxx it, I'll drive. Checkout the personal they sent in with no experience to man the front lines in Bangkok a few years ago. Checkout submarine day.

beautifulthailand99 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 This thread has gone 'well mental' as they say in London...... The Boxby LascellesOnce upon a time in the land of Hush-a-byeAround about the wondrous days of yoreThey came across a sort of boxBound up with chains and locked with locksAnd labeled, “Kindly Do Not Touch - It’s War.”Decree was issued round aboutAll with a flourish and a shoutAnd a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly on before“Don’t fiddle with this deadly boxOr break the chains or pick the locksAnd please don’t ever play about with war.”Well the children understoodChildren happen to be goodAnd they were just as good around the time of yoreThey didn’t try to pick the locksOr break into that deadly boxThey never tried to play about with war.Mommies didn’t eitherSisters, Aunts, or Grannies neitherCause’ they were quiet and sweet and prettyIn those wondrous days of yore.Well, very much the same as nowNot the ones to blame somehowFor opening up that deadly box of war.But someone didSomeone battered in the lidAnd spilled the insides out across the floor.A sort of bouncy bumpy ballMade up of flags and guns and allThe tears and horror and deathThat goes with war.It bounced right outAnd went bashing all aboutAnd bumping into every thing in store.And what was sad and most unfairIs that it really didn’t seem to careMuch who it bumped or why, or what, or for.It bumped the children mainlyAnd I’ll tell you this quite plainlyIt bumps them everydayAnd more and more.And leaves they dead and burned and dyingThousands of them sick and cryingCause’ when it bumps it’s really very sore.Now there’s a way to stop the ballIt isn’t difficult at allAll it takes is wisdomAnd I’m absolutely sureThat we could get it back into the boxAnd bind the chains and lock the locksBut no one seems to want to save the children anymore.Well, that’s the way it all appearsCause’ it’s been bouncing round for years and yearsIn spite of all that wisdom wiz’Since those wondrous days of yore…In the time they came upon a boxBound up with chains and locked with locksAnd labeled, “Kindly Do Not Touch - It’s War” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dao16 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Why would I fight for a foreign military? I would risk losing my own citizenship (so would most, I would imagine) and, if they are invaded, it really isn't any of my business to become a solider for them. I would get the %$)! out of dodge and try to take family with me. If I were back in my home country, I wouldn't expect visitors who weren't citizens, etc., to suddenly take up arms, either.

Mossfinn Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think asking for someone to fight is rather emotive, particularly so, if it is not your country of birth, but many things will drive a man to enlist. But to say that you would be stupid not to have foreseen and be on the first plane out, what if your family could not get on that plane, and as for the pseudo-intellectual soporific clap trap is neither clever, or even relevant in this case.

ableguy Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 That would be a very small foreign brigade. As we know, they are not very generous with PR's or citizenship. And you would probably need a workpermit! No I would not! Defend values I don't believe in?? The Thai Foreign Legion Morale song Chorus: Here you are, some chilli sausage, some chilli sausage, some chilli sausage For the Cambodians, Burmese and the Muslims For the Cambodians, there's none left, For the Burmese, there's none left, They're lazy shirkers. For the Cambodians, there's none left, For the Cambodians, there's none left, They're lazy shirkers.1st verse: We are crafty. We are rogues. We are no ordinary guys. We've often got our black moods, For we are Legionnaires. In Pattaya the Immortal Legion Honoured our flag at Wireless Road. Heroes of Bars and model brothers - Sleep in peace in your tombs.(Repeat Chorus) 2nd verse: Our ancestors knew to die For the glory of the Legion. We will know to perish According to tradition.

Bagwan Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I would not even save my country. I don't give a <deleted> what s going on as long I m safe. And you are all a bunch of hypocrites or liars if you tell me you think differently. Marines or else are just for the money . They will quit if not paid.... Cut the crap, it s true. If you work for free, why you don't come to clean my car and clean my house.? The real question would be : would you save the world if aliens from space invade us. Yes, because if not, they will kill us all. You could not be more wrong. We come in peace. Signed Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
