Experiment If you were serving a life sentence and were offered your freedom in exchange for military service in a war, would you accept the offer?

[Castaway]

The war is high-intensity comparable to the ongoing Russo-Ukranian war.

 

[persona non grata]

Sure, and you know exactly what I have in mind.

 

[zd60]

Yes I can do lots of fun things that i want to do again then

 

[glutty]

Am I going to be in a penal battalion sent as just cannon fodder infront of regular troops?

 

[Cryotron]

Depends what kind of prison, if the prison cell is like Breivik's then no i would not go to war.

 

[SirDave]

For how long? A set number of months or until the war concludes?

Yes, you will be sent on the most dangerous missions and your officers will eye you and your comrades like hawks. Any suggestion of desertion will be met with a firing squad.

Third World or early 20th century type prison.

Until you are either wounded in combat or the war ends.

yeah after few years in such hellhole anyone would rather play roulette in a war than rot there for life.

 

[CosmicSerialKiller]

Interesting that all votes but mine are yes.

I ain't dying for no fucker. Prison is a free roof and free meals. Fuck it.

 

[Mango]

I would do it but I would probably end up being killed by an FPV drone or a sniper bullet to the head.
