I went to war over dogs in strange clothing, I think I could probably stretch to the defence of the realm

Definitely more suited to guerrilla tactics like the Viet Cong though
 

Flip it around and ask would you fight for your values, then that becomes a different kettle of fish, but even then it's not straight forward. It's a discussion I have with the other half regularly, as her dad was very anti the party. He was caught on camera throwing stones at the tanks in 68 and it went downhill from there. His values meant no uni, no decent job, no foreign travel, not just for him but the whole family.

I kind of admire him for it, but I didn't have to live through the hardship as a result.
 
More or less, this. Fam, blud.

Plus, America

I would fight for my values, absolutely. The only problem is that my values aren't shared by the Government or those who vote for it.
 

I'd like to think I would have been brave enough, re the Spanish civil war, and World War 2.
 
Can I be the guy in the chopper, hanging out the door, with the massive machine gun, firing indescriminatly at people/animals. Imagine getting paid for that. Dream job, no running about, just back to refuel, rearm, grab a burger. 'Hey asshole, get this bird back in the air'. Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatattatatatatatatatatataatatatata.
