If Britain were attacked by Russia would you enlist?

[Clarky]

There appears to be a significant number of Russian cucks in the electorate.

Or people pretending to be them... (Data centres allowing...)

I am 59 & already served when I left I vowed to never take up arms again that hasn't changed. Nothing & I mean nothing could make me kill another human being

What if it was a Russki in a Gooner Shirt coming to murder you and yours? Asking for a mate...

Someone is walking into a polling station and voting for these fudgers.

Forgive me I’m not some expert of weaponry or modern warfare.

You asked a question. I am trying to understand it. And thanks for clarifying, I thought you were a regular consult for the DOD.

They launch a long range misile which hits an important piece of energy infustructure in Britain. Many lives are lost.

If it's nuclear, then don't worry, we're on an accelerated death march. I think the chances of any other type of strike are minimal. They have too many options before that which would cause much much worse casualties.

Are you enlisting? (In hypothetical world where you are younger)

No. Who is the fight against?
I am struggling to understand the root of the question TBH. Is it based on the Mi5 guy's warnings about attacks (which were non-traditional combat from what I could see)?


How about you? Are you (hypothetically) enlisting?

A tragic case in point. If you're this guy, in this situation, do you do the same?

I think one has to?

Oregon teacher fought school attacker before armed dad killed suspect

The 16-year-old suspect previously attended the primary school and had targeted a special educational needs classroom, police say.

This prompted some searching. I had the marching photo and totally unbeknown to us his ID was in the back of the frame. I did a reverse image search and this 'team photo' popped up saying he was a 'Major' yet I can't see him in that photo at all. So either a mixup with the title or maybe he took the photo, as he used to dabble. Third cane from the middle looks a little like him but not really. Funny old game. He ran the local power station during the war and that, possibly health was why he stayed back.

I read that and there were certainly some minerals of varying types on display. That teacher was fighting to survive and protect her children. It was the 'fight' stage and she did whatever she could to survive. Incredible bravery, saving lives. For the guy who chanced upon the scene, had kids in there and risked his life to intervene, only admiration. I don't know the whole story but that would have been deeply traumatic.

The whole story is tragic. The shooter attacked a classroom for developmentally disabled kids. He had himself been a developmentally disabled student at the school before. The guy who intervened happened to be passing by, and yup, he is traumatized by it because the shooter was himself only 17.

 

[thfcsteff]

Mate just answer the bloody question.

I did.
Open your eyes.
Were there too many words around the answer?!!!

 

[Clarky]

Also, if I was passing any incident at my Child's school, I'm in a heartbeat, with whatever is lying about. I might consider my entry point but beyond that it is automatic.

Luckily he happened to be carrying a loaded weapon. fudging country that is.

The country that averages 250 school shootings per year, when the next highest in the world is Mexico (yanks on holiday?) with 8

Then I would put up a fight but I wouldn't kill him & if not killing him means I die so be it. Both my kids can make up there own minds.

I would try & disarm him but I wouldn't kill him. This scenario is different to the original question. Once you have seen death up close & personal it changes how you view wars & death in general.

Home guard or serving overseas doesn't matter you should be extremely proud. At my passing out parade we met some veterans who were visiting they were real heroes. Lest We Forget

I know it's a different scenario...and please don't think I was not respecting your original post and your lived experiences of how you have arrived at such a definite position.

I then read the BBC article, and wondered if there are limits or red lines to your (or anyone's) stance? Which you have answered above.

It sounded from the BBC article that the father that shot the killer was instantly traumatised by what HE had done, let alone what he was witnessing. Yes, he's getting the 'hero' fanfare but I'm guessing he needs something more than pats on the back. Hopefully he can reconcile that he saved lives, kids lives and his daughters lives. Although the 'man' he killed was really just a kid...

My stock position is that anyone who serves has my utmost admiration. You wouldn't wish combat on anyone. Family and friends have all served. Among my Great Uncles were a Lancaster bomb aimers, an infantryman who was among the first into some of the 'camps' and they weren't happy times. I truly hope we will never have to galvanise like they had to back then.

Never thought you were disrespecting my post for a second.

I genuinely feel sorry for the guy. i trained & trained & did even more training so when evil showed it's ugly head I would be prepared to take down the threat. difference is today I would try to get close enough to take him down without killing him. The guy in the article went on instinct & a whole lot of courage.

I hope he gets all the psychological help he needs because it will stay with him forever. He'll be cleaning the car walking the dog & bang that dark shadow is back.
