Would you fight against your birth country in war?

Question

Would you fight for your adopted country if you knew that you would be fighting against the country that raised you?

Answer 1

Well, I was born an American, so I guess a similar question would be would I fight in an American Civil War. If there was a very good reason I would.

Answer 2

Well depends on the circumstances. I mean if you were from germany back in WWII and you hear that germany is being wielded by a genocidal megalomaniac and is attempting to take over the world wouldn't you fight that. I suppose under circumstances like that I would.

Answer 3

Thats difficult.

Being an American I could never want to live anywhere else, so I would of course defend America.

But I think in general thats a tough decision.

If you moved to another country you're going to see it as your home.

You no longer live in the country that it has went to war with.

But on the other hand your birth country is where your friends, more than likely your family and everything you grew up with, thats where they all reside. Could you fight against them?

Sometimes it may not even be a different country. What if theres a civil war within your nation and you choose a side your family is not on?

Thats something that would be extremely hard to decide.

I personally would go back to my birth country and defend her. The mother country is the most important.

Which in my opinion brings up a whole another issue about immigrants, especialy from the Middle East. This isnt an attack on them, but hey lets face it they dont exactly have the best track record for being peaceable.

Answer 4
