There’s been a few comments with regards to the Ukraine government handing out weapons to its citizens, who on here thinks they would fight for our country (not that I think it would ever come to that) and who would be doing their best to find a way out? 

I’d have to stay and fight, especially how the Ukrainians have stuck together and are fighting back, it’s very impressive.   I would be frightened to death, but to be part of what they’ve got must be great, an achievement in a way.   They must really love their country, bloody good on them, I wish them all well.

Born soldiers

I'd take a tent, 10kg of rice, a lot of tinned stuff, a pan and a sleeping bag and run off (or get the bus) into the woods near Barrow Bridge and hide...

Oh, I'd take some booze too, maybe about thirty half bottles of Buckfast - so I could get drunk and stay alert if the Redcaps came looking for me.

Apart from my granddad - who served in the SS (Combat Role - Iron Cross recipient), my family has a proud history of ducking out of military service, sometimes hiding in attics or claiming to be queer and that they'd rue the day they put them in uniform, or saying as soon as they were deployed they'd defect to the Germans.

My great, great, great uncle did the above during WW1 - he was sent innumerable white feathers for his cowardice, he had the last laugh though, he opened a pillow factory and used them as stock, made a fortune - which he used to run away, to Switzerland.

Seriously though just imagine asking our people to fight?

Work shy cunts can barely manage a week at work without ringing in sick. Fannying about working from home because offices are unsafe.

Not to mention the hordes of dole dossing fuckers, sending kids to school in taxis with a maccies breakfast ordered on Uber eats.

Theres people already panic buying petrol because they might have to pay 3p more for a litre next week. Bunch of selfish bastards.

We'd fold like a deck of cards if anyone turned up here. 

We've createf a weak as piss society, scared of its own shadow.

They’d knock up a protest against it during the advert break. More and more like the French everyday. 
If called upon imo it’s gotta be done, if it means giving your kids and their kids a better future that’s what it’s all about aint it.
 

Plus I know @royal white i’d just get in with him and the Wogden Inglorious Basterds

You got the George AND Victoria Cross for service in WW2, The Battle for Stanley, Iraq and Afghanistan.

For bouncing about behind a row of coppers at Horwich Parkway and gesturing to a load of Bristol Rovers' pwopa nawties.

Hero.

I wonder if I'd be able to get a gatling gun fitted to the handlebars on my electric scooter

We really haven't.

Both world wars were won by conscripts like my grandads after the professional army had been pretty much wiped out.

The French have won more wars than lost.

The Resistance faced summary execution, preceded by torture, and rape and torture if female. If they were caught or grassed up and caught.

Seems it might be from 2014. Though still applies I suppose.

That was 70 years ago.

Things have changed a lot since then.

First sign of danger with covid we had fuckers fighting for toilet rolls.

But you did serve with distinction in WW2, The Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan?

Those conscripts were decades ago. Society was different. 

Without doubt it is a much softer one nowadays. 

That's not to say things might not change if we were subject to an invasion. Scrotes might take great pleasure in lobbing petrol bombs at the enemy, rather than stealing each other's mobile phones and stabbing other gang members.

[Youri McAnespie]

I think Britain was, excepting The Channel Islands, was last subject to a manned invasion in the 13th century.

So all the theoretical good soldiers might have a long wait to prove their bravery.

World War 2 black market economy.

And folk working from home is possible because of technology?

You use one if those long poles to clean windows don't you?

Get up a ladder you massive fanny. Scared of heights and don't want to get your hands wet? This fucking generation😀

Folk now ain't so different when push comes to shove.

Those from 1914 would be saying the same about those from 1939.

Folk are folk.
