I would go and fight for my country if needed, I would go fight now if necessary but most families in this generation don't want to send their children to war. They'd rather send them to university or get a normal safe job.
Many parents these days refuse to let their children go to fight in the war. The honour isn't enough for this country anymore because they'd rather gain materially from fighting in the war.
Your saying we are living through a war margeret, we are just fortunate someone hasn't come to bomb us yet.
Living in accy though and the way we are quite racist in our conservative northern ways at times I feel more lucky that there isnt something worth bombing, because then I would be worried.
