You left out the choice of me being the one who started it. How unthoughtful of you.

Meh, I would probably join it, since if WW3 begins, it probably would affect everybody nevetheless where they live and did they want to join it or not...
So, better to die while defending your country than just sitting at home, hoping that nothing happens to you and you get killed by bomb...

Since I have issues even with the basic concept of national states, I can't really see the point. The only thing that is certain in war is that everybody looses, except maybe a few really rich people who win fiscally in the very short term. Besides, I think an all out nuclear war could make the world a better place... eventually... but probably not for humans  It's the same with all this "save the world" BS - the world will do just fine. It has been much worse polluted in the past and still managed to repopulate itself with plant and animal life (sometimes in as little as a few million years or so), so it's not really much to worry about. What you should be saying is "Save our own behinds before it's too late".

That depends... The army won't have me 
I'd rather try to stay alive and await WW4 and then join the fighting - With Sticks!

A chance to get killed, tortured or starve/freeze to death because of what will likely be a petty squabble started by old white men so I can defend a piece of land surrounded by imaginary lines? Deal of the freaking century; sign me up!
edit: war is fun and exciting it's like playing with plastic swords just even funner and more exciting i can't wait to kill people oh man

I wouldn't fight. I can't think of any reasonable motivation to start a WW3 so whoever did it and for what reasons would most likely be in disagreement with my political and moral views. Thus, I would take the opportunity to stay peacefully in my bunker and take up my painting and piano playing again.

I mean, if there is an agressor (or more) it should be handy if there'd be a few nations able to field a force to put them down (like the filthy dogs they are! Die! *ahem*). In the name of peace, security, and not being oppressed? And possibly killed/becoming ill or being irradiated and then dying.
I wouldn't join the army, I think, but I could be up for a political/diplomatic effort.

well to die for your country is a great honor but i think that after that war life would just be about dead and everybody will be running about with sticks and bow and arrows.  | | |

There's nothing noble about war. It's filthy and savage. It isn't a game, and it's not something you can walk away from. Think: a traffic accident, with two drivers dead. Now, multiply that by several hundred thousand cars. All driven by people deliberately trying to kill the person in front of them. Now, you have a war.
