I wonder if they asked as a general question or if it was phrased like your getting invaded would you fight?

Finland. Literally three times higher than most of Western Europe. It’s almost as if they see the threat.

The feeling I get when I’m on Reddit is that a lot of people would be happy to have mandatory conscription as lot as it is *others* getting conscripted.

Brazilian here: never! I will not fight for the corrupt government of Brazil.

Guess it depends on against who, and for what
Finland has clear answers to both, and is ready to rumble

I wouldn’t want to put my country at a disadvantage.

Ukraines questionnaire was more like “are you” rather than “would you”

Maybe they’d fight for other countries?

I think “fighting for your country” gets interpreted very differently depending on where you are from.
Does it mean fighting to defend your nation from an existential threat, or does it mean being sent to war so some rich people can make more money?
I think in Finland they clearly interpret that as the former.

Oh look. This time Portugal is British.

Would you defend your country would be a better question.

The wording needs to be straightened out a bit. Imo HUGE difference between going somewhere to fight for your country or fight if your country is being invaded. I’m Canadian and if we were Invaded I would fight with all I’ve got, but if I’m going somewhere to fight for Canada? Hard pass.
Look at the Brits, they fought like Lions in the Battle of Britain, you launch and invasion of the UK and that % will skyrocket.

I’m Lithuanian and I’d rather fight for Poland than Lithuania

Oof. That doesn’t bode well.

I don’t put much stock into this for the simple reason that people’s minds change real fast when confronted with a real situation, instead of this hypothetical.

As a British person I would fight for my country but only if we were being attacked, there’s no way I’d want to help us attack other countries.

The question should be would you fight for your country if it was invaded.

No, why would I want to get consripted but some politician’s son can enjoy his studies in a elite private uni abroad?

If you don’t want to fight for your country, then don’t complain when you find yourself under someone else’s dominion.

Every time this gets posted we have to explain the same thing. It’s just a difference in how it’s interpreted. People are willing to fight to defend against invaders but they don’t want to go fight in foreign wars with shaky justifications.

Hungary: no data
Hungarians do not even bother to answer the question…

Asked as a general question. I guarantee most of these would be significantly higher if it was specifically about protecting their country from an invasion. Turns out that most people don’t want to go and die in a ditch in a distant land.
