Would you answer Irelands call?

If Ireland was to be attacked by a tyrannical army like Nazism, but some other ism. If all the leaders of all parties united and asked you defend Ireland. Would you take up arms to defend your nation, to die for your nation

No. They could have it. Hopefully they actually would be Germans too. Might get some useful infrastructure and services out of it.

Perhaps, but you first John Redmond, John Bruton/Brian Hayes/The Irish Times. Then come back to us.

No, definitely not. Nationalism has already been defeated. What would you be fighting for?

Depending who it was, Bruton would have his bags round his ankles so fast he'd get friction burns.

If a tyrannical outfit invaded I'd be fighting for myself, which would probably be the same as fighting for my country in practice.

Die for my nation? The idea is to let the other lad die for his not me for mine!

First they came for the socialists...

Would this tyrannical outfit put a new dictator in place?
I'm sure they'd take no crap from the mismanaged HSE, sort out the infrastructure, and sort out so much other crap.
When can they start?
