I pick navy due to family history. The only people in my family to serve have all been navy folk.

I voluntarily served in the Army so my answer is pretty obvious. I don't think they'd give me much of a choice of preference.

You probably wouldn't have been conscripted, but instead volunteered.

Since you use the word nation without an s (as in singular), which nation in particular are you reffering to?

Yours. Unless you think that Qatar may be able to conscript you to military service.

Reminds me of an exchange from the Flying Circus:

- No sir, I'm not a pacifist. I'm a coward, sir.
- That's a very silly line Jenkins. Go and sit in the corner.
- Yes sir. Silly.

I'm a 20-year Army retiree, so I answered Army - of course.

Army. That is what I'll probably go into if I don't get in the Merchant Marine Academy. I wouldn't get conscripted though, since I'd do ROTC.

I used to be in the Army but if I had to do it over again I'd take the Air Force.

None, as conscription would be illegal in the USA. I would never participate in something illegal.

If the Dutch, Germans or English invaded Belgium I would collaborate with them.
If the French invaded I would join the army, a militia, or a terrorist organisation.
But most likely I'd just be cowering in the basement.

Since I've already been conscripted by and trained in the army and Canada is so far away it's a no-brainer.
