Would You Lose a Leg for Afghanistan?

[Koolblue13]

Simple question and I know we have a lot of ex military in here, who obviously would, because they signed up.

Just curious how important Afghanistan is to everybody personally.

Should be rephrased to "would you lose a leg to find bin laden"

[SnyderShrugged]

I'd have to know the specific intent of the mission along with what the metric of success is before making that call.

Yeah. It depends on whether or not we have a clearly defined mission.

agreed.

[twa]

Would I RISK losing a leg?...Yes

But that is not the stupid phrasing used is it?

We are in Afghanistan right now, right?

[frostyj]

The phrasing is a bit off.
But yes, I would go where ever I was asked/told to go. Not just Afgan.

[SnyderShrugged]

yes, minus a clearly defined mission and metric of success.

I'm guessing the poll is asking if we'd be willing to sacrifice ourselves to accomplish our military mission in AStan.

I'm a veteran, my answer when I was 17 was Yes and my answer now that I'm 32 is still Yes. However, atleast for me, it wasn't about the mission as much as it was about my brothers with whom I served. I would go fight little green people on Mars with my brothers if we were asked to go.

It is a very poorly framed question

[Popeman38]

Would you risk losing a leg for your family?

Because that is what your brothers in arms are, your family. So, yes, I would risk losing a leg if it meant keeping my family safe.

This and This!

Though the question is a bit vague and confounded the sentiment, atleast for me, is the same.

Hell no, how would I win an ass kicking contest?
