What would happen (in reality) if war broke out today

[Man About Town]

and every eligible man and woman was to be called for service?

 

[Wilfy]

I’d fuck off and hide in the highlands.

Queues in tesco would be shorter?

 

[safcrhys.]

With all the little crying fannies we’ve managed to create over the past 30 years? We’d surrender after 5 minutes because they’d need a safe space.

 

[Deleted member 40035]

Brexit would be put on hold.

 

[TheWanderer]

Always fancied myself as a sniper

 

[lenshack]

We’d all be brown bread, except for a few on remote Pacific islands and not forgetting the Cockroaches of course.

 

[gazc24]

The poor would die while the rich somehow escaped call up......same as every other war

 

[Deleted member 26022]

As it would no doubt be a nuclear war, I doubt not very much after the first 24 hours.

 

[AlpineExile]

I'd face the difficult decision of deciding which fall-out shelter I want to use.

 

[black cat in france]

War, what is it good for?

 

[What A Waster]

The jails would be full of conchies

 

[heroesof73]

all the young uns would shit themselves and say the pensioners should have their heating allowance, bus pass and deserved a referendum vote if they went to war for their freedom again

 

[Tomma]

We probably wouldn't see tomorrow.

 

[Nicky Winterwasp]

We would win to make it 3 in a row

Vault 69

 

[Butcher's Coat]

The Remainer's would want another vote on it.

And the old who survived would complain because no tax payers are alive to afford them luxury benefits

 

[MattyM 09/109]

Who are we fighting? If its untrained opium poppy farmers with lever action rifles and explosives made of goat shite and we have attack helicopters, nuclear submarines, assault and dmr rifles, tanks, apcs and missile equipped drones it should be piss. Back by Christmas.

It wouldn’t happen as we no longer fight conventional wars.

You may have noticed we’ve had wars almost non-stop for most of your life, but you’ve never been conscripted.
