Weekend-Engagement topics: WEEK 207 // War in my country

Greetings friends of WEEKENDEXPERIENCES, after a hard week of work I hope you enjoy a great weekend 🥰

Imagine your country was in a war and you were drafted (conscripted) to go and defend the country and your family within it. Would you choose to go or would you object and face jail time leaving your family to their fate? Remember to use your own photos.

The fact of reaching a war in my country (I hope that never happens 😔) would imply being willing to kill or die in the attempt to win, I would have to sacrifice myself yes or yes since the consequences would be fatal, so my answer YES, without hesitation would be if I would let them recruit me to defend my country and my family.

I am a woman and I know it would not be easy, women's experiences in war vary greatly depending on the specific country, conflict and time period.

Women who serve in wars would have different roles, such as: nurses, drivers or pilots, support for combatants and even spies.

I know that in some way I would obtain benefits for mine, knowing myself as I know myself, I would leave my children, my relatives and my parents sheltered at home or in a safe place, I would find a way to leave provisions and send them personal items and medicines whenever I could. get them.

Even though women are excluded in direct combat, I would try to be a great help, I would find a way to help drive military trucks and take them to combat zones, transport wounded people and support them in everything related to transportation. .

In the case of serving as a nurse I would do it without hesitation, I do not have expert knowledge of medicine but with 3 grown children and 3 cats 🐈🐈‍⬛, I think that I do have experience to treat some illnesses 🤭, motherhood forces us to learn a little about everything, including part of medicine

And by being part of the combatants I would be able to get available time to go help my relatives and make sure they are well and protected.

In my country we have gone through many difficult things, and I have been a fighter in everything I have experienced, we have never suffered a war, I hope that never happens, but if it were the case I know that I would be willing to fight and protect my family, my pets and mine from everything that could harm them even if I have to die trying. 😔

This is a very diplomatic way of responding to this prompt.

I hope your country does not get to experience war, it's not a pleasant experience at all.

Through the media I have seen what wars are like in other countries and I know that they are fatal, if I could make a wish, it would be world peace 🙏🏼

The thing here is, whether one chooses to go to war or serve term, no one is better than the other. Neither is a safer option. It is war and anything could happen. I hope things never get to that point of war though.
By the way, you really are a patriot.

It's true my friend, they are not options 😔, you have to live it to know what it really is like, and I wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy.

Oh my how sweet of you to include your pets, if ever, but I wish it will never happen, I'm not sure how I will decide on that especially I am a coward and too dependent to my oldies. I'm not sure if I can even come up of a wise decision. In war, everything can happen no. This might be one of a reason why I will not decide at all. But seriously speaking, it is a very hard decision to make right 🤧

Así es amigo no es lo mismo escribirlo e imaginarlo, que vivirlo, ojalá eso no sucediera en ningún país 😔
