Could you fight in a civil war?

[Goskers07]

This'll undoubtedly turn political, but at least humor me for a page or two.

Saw the movie Civil War tonight. Solid show that gets you thinking for sure.

I kept thinking the whole time: I could never willingly fight in a civil war. Protecting my own property and family, yes. But fighting a large scale war against other Americans, regardless of ideology is not something I think I could bring myself to do.

If it came to the point of no choice life or death, yes. Outside of that fudge no.

Only if it was knife fighting with a maximum 8 inch blade. I have never done it but seen it in lots of movies. Think I'd be pretty good.

As long as Cockeye is on the opposite side, I think I could crack some skulls.

 

[Lionsfan93]

Honestly, war in general is tough. Of course I want to sound badass, but there is no way that war cannot fundamentally change you.

I could if my family was in danger. I certainly couldn’t over any of the stupid ass political shit we see in the news now.

 

[nja13]

You mean like if one broke out today, or are you asking if we could have fought in the 1861 one?

Destroying all woke people would be fun

I think I’d model myself after Mark Twain and skip town, after one battle, and spend the rest of my 20s visiting bordellos and gambling halls.

 

[LoudHogRider]

Could I? Sure. In short bursts with an afternoon nap. I'm old, after all.

Would I? It's hard to fathom any scenario in which I'd want to go to war against my fellow Americans. Self-defense only unless someone represents an invading force that wants to decimate my family and friends. Then put us old cranky guys out front and let all those years of staring down a barrel pay dividends for those I hold dear.

Exactly my feelings. I hate politics as it is. I certainly have my own feelings on all these hot button topics, but not enough to make it my identity and certainly not enough to pull the trigger on someone else over it. It's more like I feel strong enough about them to roll my eyes over other people's thoughts.

Thoughts on the 21 foot rule?

Looks like the feds have infiltrated the board, Garrett. I blame @22*43*51

 

[Juro]

If I had no choice, yeah, I would. Probably more of an IT guy though in the fight.

 

[BingoDingo]

I'd probably just a find the most accessible way to war profiteer. If I'm being honest, I'm not trying to get ground to dust by Artillery...

That, or I'd simply go live with my wife's family in Mexico until all the retards killed each other off...

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I'd just pick the opposite side of Jim, murder him, and then go live with Bingo in Mexico

The CPA vs civilian Civil War will probably be here before we know it

 

[Herbie]

There’s a lot of people in the country that would be fun to kill
