    Default If WWII happened now..

    But warfare was the same as it was in 1940, and it was optional to fight to help your country, would you sign up to fight?

    I would sign up to fight as I would sign up to fight the Boer wars and the Falklands. I would however be critical of the decision to attack over Poland at a time when the British armed forces were very weak and more to the point; the stupid decision to declare war over the issue of Poland because the very plain fact is that there was little we could do seeing as Poland was on the other side of Europe.

    Then after the war (if having survived) you'd have to question the point of the war, seeing as the countries we originally went in to 'liberate' are now under a socialist dictatorship which was far worse than anything seen in the Third Reich and to the west of Europe. To add to that, the British Empire was then eclipsed and disintegrated not long after along with the German economy recieving billions from both Britain and the United States whilst Britain sunk deeper and deeper into economic misery until rthe 1980s when that trend was finally reversed and Fabianism was rolled back to a slight extent.

    In many ways we [Great Britain] lost the war.

    By socialist dictatorship are you honestly suggesting that the EU is worse than the Nazis?

    I do agree with you though, in many ways Britain did lose the war as it was all down hill from there but the democracy and freedoms we fought for remain strong around the world.

    I would most certainly sign up and fight if my country needed me, regardless of the war, soldiers aren't there to question wars, that's up to the politicians.

    Given that I had already... yes, without question. Regardless of the conditions and nature of warfare I would join to fight the war as my late great grandfather did before me.

    I would sign up as I would like to sign up for the Iraq war, but my mum said she'd brake my legs if I did.

    Given that the British Army is no longer involved in combat operations in Iraq, and your likely operational deployment would be to Afghanistan, she shouldn't have a problem now
