If called upon, would you be willing to serve in the military to defend America against terrorism?

College students at The University of Memphis ponder this question as tensions mount across the world.

I would if we’re going to clean the whole area up. I’d only go into it if America can finish what they started.

Wayne Martin, graduate student, biology

I’m not American. I’m from Nigeria. If I had to I would, but if there was a way out I wouldn’t. It makes a lot of sense to fight the war to fix the problem.

No. I’m an anarchist. I’d go to jail before I went to the army.

Aaron Markus, freshman, economics

Probably not, I guess. I don’t think I’d be beneficial.

Jesse Swann, sophomore, computer science

If I was drafted I’d be willing to. I wouldn’t have a choice. It would be my patriotic duty. I won’t lie, I’d be scared.

If I were able to get a high position I would. I wouldn’t want to go into war. I would want to lead the army in war.

Andras Bajkor, freshman, business administration

Yes, definitely. I think every American owes it to their country.

Josh Taff, freshman, undecided

Aside from “you don’t have a choice,” I think we should make peace. Those people over there are willing to die for their country. They’re sick. Their beliefs are twisted. I really think we should negotiate for something. A war against Bin Laden? He’s got so many followers, it will never stop.
