Hi kingpins,
Are you referring to Australia, the UK or both?

Even with conscription, I think many young British men (do we include the new arrivals in with them?? )
Would prefer to shoot their knee caps off to avoid conscription.

How about young Australian men?
Unfortunately, I do not not know that many, to judge if they are patriotic, peace loving or cowards.
Perhaps you can give me your opinion.

I would like to think that Australian men have more bravery and guts than the new breed of British men.
I do not know.

As a pacifist at heart, I have sympathy with any who wish to avoid war.
But previous generations sacrificed their freedom and often their lives to save their families and countrymen.

What do you think?

Our three sons would fight to save their country in a heartbeat.
They are not interested in fighting someone else’s war in the Middle East.
Hopefully the need does not arise as war is always grim and awful.
