The question, “Wouldn’t you fight for your country?” begs the real question, which is, “What is the best way to behave here and now to serve your country?” So one answer would be “If it was the right thing to do, I would fight for my country. Now let’s talk about what is the right thing to do.” Or “Wouldn’t you refuse to fight if I asked under wrong conditions to do so, for the sake of your country? So let’s talk about what to do for our counry.”
