War is for pussies
Real men talk out their problems without violence
-
Because that worked out so well in this exact case, Neville Chamberlain?
-
Hitler was too big of a pussy unfortunately.

You turn the corner to see a skinhead beating your dad with a baseball bat. You have a gun. Walk us through your next moves.
-
Based. Put the people who declared the war on the frontline.
-
That's often the case when it's a battle over shit like oil but for instance when Germany attacked Poland, it's the Poles' primary responsibility to fight for what is theirs. "Let the people who declared war be on the front line" okay well in this example that's Germany and you're going to lose everything your family ever worked for.

I'm going to go with based. I would not have wanted to be a conscript with the rank of private in any army at this time period. You'll be badly treated disposable cannon fodder and you'll be stuck in that situation until the war ends, until you get taken prisoner, until you desert, or until you died.

Can be pussy and based. And based on the world war death tolls, there's a very high chance OP would never have been born otherwise
-
this says it was 1932
-
Indeed, is there more you want to comment? Or is there more you would like to know about the 1930s in Europe? Now I understand that I am taking a liberty with the assumption that OP is referring to European heritage, but I could direct you to a book or two to expand your knowledge of history

Was it between wars?

My grandfather did the exact same thing. But he was in conquered France and did it to avoid being drafted by the Nazis.
Edit: There were also a stories of other people in the village finding other ways to avoid the Nazi draft. One of them pretended to be deaf and managed to avoid falling for a few tricks the Germans played on him in an attempt to expose him, such as dropping a coin behind his back. Another one reported to the draft medical examination after purposefully biking over an insanely long distance. When he arrived he was completely exhausted and the doctor deemed him too anemic for military service. All of those in the village who couldn't dodge the draft were sent as cannon fodder on the eastern front and never returned, except for one "lucky" individual who lost a leg.

TIL there were a lot of conflicts occurring in 1932: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Conflicts_in_1932
-
The Emu War (or Great Emu War)[2] was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932

Grandpa was right...

On the internet, no one knows that you are a giant bird
-
-
There has been tons of conflicts occurring every year since the beginning of human civilization
-
Humans? I knew it! Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them!

Based purely on names, about 90% of those are HARD pass from me.
The other 10% are a soft pass.

My favorite is the Battle of El Sauce, at which the International Consortium of Spanish-speaking Countries defeated the Yum! Brands Taco Bell Corporate Mercenaries to save the word "salsa" from extinction

It depends entirely on what country Anon's grandfather was from.
-
it's likely you're here because he hid...
-
How old was the daughter?
-
And how did he get her pregnant without being seen?
-
Did her from behind, of course
-
she caved.
-
-
Why is this so far down??
-
-
Depends on which war it was
-
The one difference that matters if he dodged invading a country or defending his own.
-
But sometimes you have to invade to defend.
How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?
-
-
-
What country was drafting in 1932? No major war effort going on anywhere at the time afaik.
-
Idk about drafts but some conflicts in that period:
- French-IndoChina vs Siam
- Saya San Rebellion
- Sino-Tibetan War
- Kumul Rebellion
- Idrisid Emirate Rebellion
- Najran conflict
- Uukwambi uprising
- Annexation of Jimma
- Chechen uprising of 1932
- Two-Liu War
- Kirghiz rebellion
- La Matanza
- January 28 incident (China v Japan)
- Darre Khel revolt
- Soviet–Japanese border conflicts
- 1932 armed uprising in Mongolia
- Lesko uprising
- Constitutionalist Revolution of Brazil
- Ecuadorian Civil War of 1932
- Sanjurjada
- Colombia–Peru War
- Chaco War
And technically the Emus vs Australia. This list has not been vetted by a professional nor is it a complete or exhaustive list.

It depends on the war we are talking about I guess?
The only war I would participate without question would be if my country (EU) was invaded.
Absolute based in any other scenario.
-
Depends on the circumstances, I guess
-
Depends on which country.

Old man was pussy pilled.

Unbased

Pussy. If you not going to defend your family and your countrymen when it's needed whats the point?
A lot of people have died to make your life better. It didn't come for free.
-
So everyone who do not fight for Putin's yacts and palaces are pussies too?
-
If they are avoiding it because they are "afraid" then yes. If they are doing it because fuck Putin then no
-
-
Doesn't it depend on the war? A lot of good allied soldiers died defeating the Nazis, but a lot of good would-be Nazis also found ways to avoid service.
Every draft dodger in the invading nation is one less soldier you need to defend against.

This is based as far as I can tell.
It's a bummer how killing strangers for your government is glorified.
It's definitely more palatable when the strangers you're killing are nazis
I can agree that there's been an extremely minuscule amount of justifiable war in an endless number of wars.
But the story in the greentext takes place in 1932, before the Nazis even got into power in Germany.
except they mostly weren't
Killing for yourself: Government will track you down, kick your door in and throw you in prison and maybe send you into the death row.
Killing for your government: Government will provide training, shelter, equipment, pay you and award you medals.
Killing for your government: Government will track you down, kick your door in and throw you in prison for refusing to.
Fixed thar for you :P
Do not forget about right to rape and steal dishwashers on your government enemy territory!
Tribalism. Our tribe is good, their tribe is bad. If you are not with your tribe, you are a traitor, so people are pressurized into this, and start believing lies about our glorious pride and wise leaders.
Probably a cooler picture than Stanhope appreciates, but:
