If I could be persuaded that the best way I could serve this country was to put my life on the line, then I think yes, I would die for it. I'm very hopeful, though, that there are other, less violent ways in which I could serve, e.g. in the logistics or support forces, which are in their own way equally as important. My suspicion is that by the time I'd need to lay my life on the line, "my country" would already be too far gone to save anyway. Certainly I'd want to try to avoid fighting on the front lines. Not that I don't have all respect for those who do choose to, but I'd really rather not.
