00:00With concerns mounting over a potential conflict with Russia,

00:03if you were of age to be called up, would you be prepared to serve your country?

00:07Many young people now say they would refuse, what do you think about the situation?

00:11I love my country, but I wouldn't fight because I think the politicians are idiots.

00:16I've not really thought about it.

00:19I'd be reluctant to do anything about it because

00:23I'm not used to anything like that, obviously, so

00:26yeah, I don't know, I wouldn't be too keen on it.

00:28I would rather not serve the political interests, but when it comes to, you know,

00:32serving the human and mankind and humanity, I think not just me,

00:36everyone should stand up for that cause.

00:38Yeah.

00:39No, generally, as I get older, the more I realise they're all the same.

00:43They all lie.

00:44Not my thing, really.

00:46Not anything I'm interested in, to be honest, no.

00:49Would you yourself go there?

00:50Yeah, definitely.

00:51Definitely.

00:52So do you think anyone should be made to serve, I suppose?

00:57Nah.

00:58Nah?

00:59Yeah.
