I've gotta be honest, after seeing what has happened to the U.K. and Europe, it's hard to blame them.
Talk about a wake up call!
According to a poll from Ipsos released to coincide with Victory in Europe (VE) Day, which marks the formal surrender of Nazi Germany to the Allied nations in 1945, some 48 per cent of Britons would not fight for their country 'under any circumstances.'
Conversely, a paltry 35 per cent said that they would be willing to put their lives on the line to protect the UK, while 17 per cent said that they were unsure, the Mail on Sunday reported.
The results are swayed because it has men lumped in with women. Forty-nine percent of British men surveyed, still less than half, said they would gladly take up arms to defend the isle.
But that matzah ball is still hanging out there. Half of the country would just let it be completely overrun rather than pick up arms to defend it.
Commenting on the decline in patriotism among Britons, retired British Army officer and veteran of the Afghan and Iraq wars, Richard Gill said: 'The fact that so many would refuse to fight for Britain is a symptom of a deeper national malaise. We've stopped teaching pride in our country, its history, and its values.'
'A nation unsure of itself cannot expect its people to defend it. That must change,' Gill added.
It's almost like a nation is a specific people in a specific place with a specific shared history. It's almost like importing a new population from all over the world who don't share your ideals and values dilutes the very substance of a nation.

In 2023, it emerged that in a bid to increase participation from black, Asian, and other ethnic minority groups, Royal Air Force staff were told to stop recruiting "useless white male pilots," despite Britain being an overwhelmingly white country.
Meanwhile, the number of active soldiers in the British Army has fallen to its lowest level since the Napoleonic wars of the early 1800s.
Good luck, Britain.
