Long gone are the stories of heroism and valor. In times of turbulence, are you willing to die for your country's sake? Or would you rather run and save yourself?

well,that depends.i will die for my country if it's worth dying for.i wouldn't want to waste my life if the country i'm residing doesn't mean that much to me.and it also depends if it suits my principles.i will fight for the country if i think doing so would also mean fighting for what i believe in.

I rather run for cover,, i mean you can be the hero of your country and in return what do you get? all the attention in media that you are the hero? maybe your leg is cutoff from whatever you were doing trying to protect your country and all you get is nothing but the words "you are the hero" Is just crazy, i rather be a hero to a certain helpless person, but not to be a hero to the whole country. All you'll get are little cheers from those mafias in government parliaments and after that you are nothing. After few months you'll from hero to zero and everybody will forget about you Why can't the president standup and be the hero himself? after all he/she is the leader of the state...we all looking at him/her, but is like a vice versa situation, because the same guy we say is our leader will always instruct normal citizen like me and you to standup and be the heros to our country, but they are always heros when it come to collecting financial gains you be the hero to the country and they be the hero when it comes to cashout on country's financial gains, thats craaaaaaaazy

I wouldn't die for my country. I'm not so patriotic. That's not because I'm a coward. But I wouldn't die for my country.
