    roaches would probably be about the only thing to survive a real WW3

    and for the record, fuck no I wouldn't go.
    I'd stay at home shooting heroin and drinking whiskey, watching the play-by-play on CNN.
    and maybe try to find someone to have sex with.

    "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
    -Einstein

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I already got myself out of the mandatory defense training period (we got that here) by pretty sneaky means, I did that in part 'cos I thought it didn't make sense to learn how to kill people, while I was trying to learn how to save them.

    If the war ever comes here, I'll help out at a hospital, in a field-hospital or at a civilian one. 'cos I'd rather leave the killing for someone else and try and save lives instead.

    WW1 was a silly war and I would be loathe to participate in such a thing. WW2 was, on the other hand, a just cause. However, it is debateable if Hitler would have had an opportunity to rise to power if WW1 had not happened (reinforcing my position on WW!)

    Consequently, I reserved the option to decide depending on circumstances.

    It goes without saying that typical Scottish bloodymindedness would kick in if someone invaded here.

    What actually constitutes a World War, it obviously isn't that the whole World is fighting.

    So let us say, for the sake of argument that it's the population of those countries involved. Nope can't really be that, because WW1 would have involved a fairly small portion of the World's population.

    Could it be which country(ies) are involved. Well the first and second definitely had GB and Germany, so it must be that. Seems an unlikely war just now, so I reserve judgement.

    I think I'm also in one of those jobs where you don't actually get conscripted anyway, that and the fact I am way too old for active service. It seems I'll have to join manhands in the cushy office number. Pass me the KY old bean.
