I still owe my answer.

Realistically, I would not fight for Germany. The Germany of the current state and near-future outlook, this set of modern, life-less politically correct values I refuse to identify with, this social community that is like it is and that is miles apart from what I value and honour in men I have to deal with. Also, I am now 50 and I am ill. Enduring a soldier's stress in the field, simply is no longer an option for me. I would not even be able to run those long voyages anymore that I did at earlier stages of my life. And I do not like this political and deeply socialist, ochlocratic construct the German state is, and I do not like the general attitude of its people and of its society.

Realistically, what I like most about Germany, is the huge variety and beauty of its landscapes, its nature. Preferrably with no people in them.

Idealistically, if "Germany" is meant to be a placeholderr for the values and historical forming of cultural identity that we mean by saying "occident", "humanism", "Roman and Greek heritage" and so forth, I have little reason not wanting to defend this. However, this historic claim, and the present's state of things, are that far apart, and the modern Europeans and Germans are so eager to reject their own identity (which is the biggest problem in the current mass migration cisis, more decisive than just the mere numbers), that such a demand for an idealistic fundament of one'S own contribution to the defence of the modern Europe, is just this: unrealistic.

In other words: I would not fight just for a country, or because of a stamp in my ID card, I just do not tick that simplistic. I demand something of ideals and ethic value that convinces me. Symbols do not impress me - but maybe the quality that the symbol stands for, at which it hints - but that depends. I am no nationalist or patriot, since I fail to identify with the german people any longer - since many years. Them seems to be a foreign people to me now, and I feel like living a stranger's life in a foreign country. And why should I take risks for somebody who refuses to see the need of wantign to defend his freedom himself and share his part in the effort? If somebody does not value his freedom, then I refuse to pay the orice for his freedom, since he cannot appreciate freedom at all.

If I were younger, healthier and still in full possession of my former physical powers, I instead would maybe join another faction that is not Germany or EU-based, if it happens that such a faction emerges and fulfills what I said about ideals and ethical values. I am willing to fight, and not fundamentally opposed to fighting. I just insist that the decision for wehat and for what not I fight, is left to where it belongs - to me.
