what if?

[jessoussi]

That's simply what I was going to say also!

I was born in Iran and live in U.S. and wouldn't go to war for either one of those countries!

what if any nation in the world. it dosnt matter what one. invaded armenia. it was no way shape or form going to hold, would u go back to defend it? even if u have never been there would u run back and defend your family's past?

Yes. If I had to, I would die defending my own country.

I've been to Armenia twice and have fell in love with it twice. There's no way I'm leaving without a fight.

Would you defend earth if aliens attacked it?

Would you defend earth if aliens attacked it?

I would!

I've got special weapons that'll knock 'em out. I think they're called knockers.

It will definitely make the alien women jealous of how you defend.

okay since this thread has to do with patriotism and loving your country, I'm posting this little article from A1plus here, I think it's beautiful:

Much love, you too Genuine Stud and Anon. The rest of you can go sit on your asses and make half assed excuses because you dont have the heart or devotion to your nation and aren't even strong enough to admit that.

Right... I dont believe in violence only as a cover for not being devoted to my nation. (Thats why I have alienated myself and gone against my family's and friends' expectations to study Armenian history, language, and other aspects of culture and to have an Armenian family.) Im not exactly sure how an excuse manages to qualify as "half assed", but Im glad to know what my position is officially called.

[Tres Bien]

violence is not the issue here...its about defending youre country, and thereby you defend youre family and youre heritage...meaning taking a stand against injustice...I dont think its not a very good excause to say youre against "VIolence."...because many people are and dont take it as an excause and let people walk all over you. You hjave to stand up for soemthing you belive in...that it what it is to be armenian...more than anything else.

Im against violence myself. if od choose i woudlnt want to use violence ,and would rather choose to solve the dispute peacefully. but we have to defend our mother land...who else will if we dont?

[ArmoBarbi]

Ok, ideally speaking - I dont accept violence as an option.

Realistically speaking it is an option of course. I just try to live as though it isnt...

I dont know how else to explain my position. IF I were to go to war for ANY country it would be Armenia above all others, but I simply dont think that going to war is the be all and end all of defense. If I were needed to defend Armenia in any other way, then yes.

Btw, I consider the refusal to assimilate the best way to preserve our nation - not participating in war.
