Would you be willing to fight for your country?

The only war worth fighting for is a war against oppressors, no matter what nationality the oppressors are ....

Powerful people or their progeny don't fight or die for their religion or country.

They manipulate others to fight and die _for_ them, and reap the rewards.

This manipulation can take the form of religious fervor, nationalism or ethnic differences (among other things).

The antidote is becoming educated and informed.

Hence you see the willingness to die being the least in the most highly educated countries (Japan, Netherlands etc.)

Nah...I'm not going to Battlefield to fight. I might be willing to help in any other way if my country is at war.....but then again for what someone would attack Bangladesh?

Not true. Nobody going to follow and die for a leader if the leader is not willing to do the same for his subject. You think people are that dumb when it comes to dying?

I will fight if I see the country's sovereignty is at stake.

Well - the point is to convince followers that the leader is prepared to die. That's all. :-)

All of them knew they going to die after that yet they saved a lot of their subject doing so.

Trust does not come in a single day of convincing but through years of track record.

Japan? Nah,I'd rather sit back and watch some anime.

Heh! You should watch China vs Japan situations. Whenever China does sth aggressive, Jap govt. tries to do a response. Result? Japanese people protest. Against China? NOOOHHH.... against Jap govt. Bunch of dumb pacifists.

Japan started overseas fightings in 1900-1905. It defeated the Russian Baltic fleet in the Battle of Tsushima in the East China Sea in 1905. Russian fleet was the strongest in the then world. A few hundred Russian ships were destroyed by the Japanese Navy. Japan occupied Korea, Taiwan, Manchuria and many Pacific islands long before the starting of WWll. It fought against the then big powers like France, Holland, England, USA and China in the 2nd WW. It was in the SE and Pacific. Finally, they lost all the occupied and colonial territories.

All these wars were dictated by the rightist military people and were imposed on the common people. It caused millions of deaths in the SE and far east of Asia, but, it also caused the loss of more than 2,350,000 Japanese in the WWll alone. Japanese people do not want any pretext by the govt to initiate an warlike situation around the country any more, though the present govt is continually revising the Clauses in the Constitution that can be used to make not only a defensive, but also an offensive war.
