Wouldnt it be better if there were no country to kill or die for?

No way, the USA is the greatest place in the world.  We are freedom's defenders.  We are the police of the world.  If there was no country, there would be no borders, no morals, and no civilization.  There would be annarchy and chaos and the world would be engulfed in the ultimate form of terrorism everywhere.

No one wishes to die as a hostage at the hands of terrorists.  For that reason countries often attempt to rescue victims or negotiate with parties that may have influence with the criminals.  However, giving into demands would validate the effectiveness of taking hostages resulting in far more victims and deaths.  Even paying ransom would provide terrorists with cash that they would use to harm more people.  The best solution is to be sure that any hostage deaths result in strong negative feedback against the terrorists, especially among populations that nominally support their activities.  Killing innocent people is taking away a gift of God and will be punished in eternity if not on Earth.

My honest answer is quite selfish. I think it would be easier for me to kill another person. Then again, I have never had such a terrible challenge and I'm not so willing to find out which option I would choose from experience.

No.  We would not.  Does life in Somolia sound good to you?  Without a central government, the country would fall into a network of warlords vying for control of the country, if not the resources at least.  People would die by the thousands as militant groups fought each other for control and civilians would be killed freely.  The list goes on.  What are you 12?

If mankind were meant to be perfect, we would resolve the world's problems in non-violent, diplomatic ways that would benefit all parties involved. Hell, if mankind were meant to be perfect, there would BE no terrorism or conflict. Too bad we aren't. In the meantime, I do agree with you, but there's nothing to be done, so unless you want to start one of hundreds of strikes that I'm sure are taking place all around the world against wars and everything - all of which are going unanswered, I must say - then I suggest that you deal, for we will never find a way out until we strive for the path of good.

because i actually got that response too. many people say that whehn you go its only to kill because whats a military without guns? and also they told me that if you go you have nothing to do and you are stupid. But there is something that people do not understand without the military there surely be still existing the Nazi org and others and much more massive killing, so i dont know why people say they hate the Military.

You have heard people from both sides say that if a terrorist attacked the United States then whoever dies deserved it.  This is because there are stupid people on both sides.  Anyone anywhere with any political affiliation has some moron thinking that they deserve to die; that's just how things are.  Humans are far from perfect.

If you've noticed in mankind's history that most wars are fought in the name of God/Religion with the real motivation of land, money and power -- People basically kill for greed, they want what the other person has, that's why killing always has a motive -- This unfortunate fact will never change untill mankind can learn to be happy with what they have and are happy to share what they have with others --

Well, peace is always good since it prevents the unecessary death of others.  War would be good if you run a major corporation and can profit off it.

nobody wins in war...that is a fact... all lives are damaged, not only physically, but mostly emotionally, psychologically and spiritually...why the question of war between countries? it is the thought of a person who loves war, who is supposed to embrace peace at all times...please, let us put a stop to this ill-thoughts. instead, spread the word...peace unto you, brother...

Assuming I still had air to breathe ... first I would go kill every criminal because there would be no repercussions because no one would know I did it.  Of course, that might be difficult if I had no vehicle/airplane/pilot to transport me.  Assuming I had a vehicle/airplane/pilot I would also travel all over the world and see the sights for free.  Hmm ... this is a difficult question.  There wouldn't be much left to do after that.

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

It does take balls to kill yourself, or your life is so miserable that death is better. I remember Patton saying Don't die for your country let that other poor son of a bit*h die for his

Violence as a solution to any problem should only be a last resort. In a perfect world there would be no war, but we do not live in a perfect world. The United States cannot police the whole world it is just unworkable and unrealistic. The problem in the way we choose our fights. Wars we engage in are the ones where we perceive a vital national interest rather than a humanitarian one. Iraq is a good example. While there is a humanitarian side of the conflict, we would not be there if the country did not possess a large oil supply. Oil is central to the US economy and therefore represents a vital national interest. Compare this with Dafur. A terrible genocide is occurring there, but honestly speaking they have nothing we want. The optimum world military situation would be one where nations acted together against tyrants, but unfortunately political realities do not allow for this.

It would be for peace! I know that sounds cliche and all, but that is truly what I would wish for. There is just too must cruelty in this world. Everytime I watch the news there are always people dying or getting hurt because of people who are cruel. Not only that, but there are also animals that are being abused everyday and dying after that. There are wars occurring all the time. It never ends. Even after a thousand years, there will, most likely, still be wars occurring here on Earth. Also, people discriminate each other. Why? Just because of skin color, hair color, gender, race...When will all the cruelty in our world end? \n\nIf I had one wish it would be for peace in our world.
