>would your fight for your country
I honestly don't know. I would definitely fight for it the old fashion way, bashing the other side into withdrawing with a sharp metal object.
However, I can't help but feel terrified by the modern military. Infantry is just a meat shield for the big guns and is put under constant stress. There is always the possibility of being hit by an artillery shell or a sniper round. Or, if not you, the guy next to you, reminding one if his own mortality. Soldiers are subjected to otherwordly noise, sleep deprivation and sometimes hunger.
In the olden days, wars were pretty straight forward. You do a bit of marching, sleep well, eat well, meet the enemy, give them a good beating, repeat. Eventually you took part in a siege, which again, was more relaxed for both sides. On top of that, you were closer to your comrades and actually were in control of your fate. Spears, arrows and rocks could be dodged or parried, especially if the guys next to your did their job.
I want out, senpai.
You have been watching too much game of thrones dimitri.

maybe if trudeau died and we had an actual leader.
For Quebec, yes. My country, no.
>implying I would die for this guy

You idiot, wars in the past have been extremely bloody and centralized, you would fight in a mostly luck-based battle, and even if you did die it would be extremely painful and agonizing, especially with very little medical care, Infantry have been meat shields in the past but with the introduction of the Tank the role has changed, today's wars are very small scale and often human rights are respected.

That being said, the majority of the American military is either Southern or Midwestern, so I've got no issue joining up. If the country ever goes tits up, our soldiers won't be defending New York and California.
I would gladly fight and die for my people and country but not for the government.

They don't get bombed if you don't hide in them. The deal is so simple and sandniggers still don't understand it. They got what they deserved.

maybe wars were better in the olden days but it doesn't really matter if you get gutted by a sword or die from shrapnel, both hurt like hell
No, but I would fight for myself, record war footage and get that sweet youtube revenue

Another difference is engagement time. With helicopters our infantry can see combat 300 days a year. WW2 the troops saw like 100 days a year. That 300 num is vietnam btw.

Modern militaries have drastically lowered their own casualties with better protective equipment and trauma treatment.
Compare the Vietnam war to now
80% of the casualties in Vietnam on the US side were from excessive hemorrhaging of the extremities while the rest was head trauma and tension pneumothorax.
About 58,315 KIA and about 153,303 WIA in Vietnam.
War on Terror: 6,639 KIA
50,422 WIA
All deaths are horrible but notice the significant difference in deaths and casualties after a giant leap in tech?

Would be a shame if I didn't
