A Gallup International poll was recently taken to gauge public opinion regarding one's “willingness to fight for the country.” Gallup conducted surveys in 64 countries, and the results were announced on March 18. The main question on the survey was,“If your country was involved in a war, would you be willing to fight for your country.”
The poll showed that 71% of people of China would be willing to fight for their country while only 11% of Japanese would be willing. Japan was actually ranked last out of all the nations included in the survey.
European countries were generally ranked low on the list. Only 15% of Dutch citizens, 18% of Germans, 19% of Belgium citizens, and 20% of Italians would be willing to fight for their country.
Morocco is first on the list with 94% of Moroccans saying that they would fight. Fiji, Pakistan and Vietnam all have 89%. Major countries of interest on the list include China (71%), Russia (59%), the United States (44%), South Korea (42%), France (29%) and the United Kingdom (27%).
62% of men and 52% of women worldwide said they would be willing to fight for their country. Approximately 6.2 million people participated in the survey.

@Lord Hanson - Agreed, Hitler totally over-extended himself. He also had tons of generals and people close to him that wanted him to fail and thought he was a mad man (which he was lol). He had better technology and a better trained army but got too greedy too fast.

He was far from retarded. A retarded person can't humiliate the French and English at the same time by destroying their forces in months. He was a German that was against one of the worst treaties in history. You do know the Treaty of Versailles? The treaty to create another war. The Nazi's declared war on the soviets because they had a really good chance of winning that. They made some mistakes and they look foolish now because of, history, but if they didn't make the obvious ones in the war, it would be a very different world. To call someone that was the powder keg for the modern world you live in, retarded, that is to completely ignore the fact that WW2 was on a knife edge for many years. No one knew they were going to win or lose during it. If Hitler followed advice and not to piss around with Stalingrad, that one city, that one conflict, had such huge ramifications that perhaps the push on Moscow would have ended the war before the Americans even decided to get into it. Maybe if the Nazi's learnt from napoleons campaign, the war would have been over earlier because the winter would have been considered. Perhaps if it wasn't the worst winter in a century, it would be different. Retarded. A man that everyone one knows about. We must all be drooling inbreed, brain injured people. Also the Russian were part of the allies and helped win the European war by losing horrendous amounts of people. Other allies being, England, France, China, Australia and so many others and the Americans decided to join the allies after about 2 or 3 years after their friends had been fighting and dying to stop this so called retarded person.

retards don't change the world. Retards aren't the most recognisable person of a century. Foolish because he was confident. Foolish because he failed to let his generals take control of his forces. foolish because he was an egomaniac. The Nazis were bad people but they humiliated the world. The destroyed the old order, along with the Japanese and Italians.--- These fools came to power because Germany was kicked and spat on when down. The Japanese got no respect from the ally powers for their role in ww1 and the Itallians were ignored also by the allied powers. ----- You could say the then Japs and Italians lost face and had no option but to kick out. The Germans were down and not given a hand up, something that the axis got after WW2 because WW3 is waiting for us in 2050. ---- If you disrespect the billion in China, then someone may (if humans still exist after a big future war) be talking about how retarded or foolish the losers were because of hindsight.

What's so strange about civilians of developed, civilised countries being aversive to war? 'Morocco is first on the list with 94% of Moroccans saying that they would fight. Fiji, Pakistan and Vietnam all have 89%.' Mostly undeveloped countries filled to the brim with poor people living in hell, with next to nothing to lose except their miserable life. People like these are easiest to brainwash. CCP knew all of this too well..... That said, look at the opium war, sino-japanese war, .... what did they do, what's the percentage who stood up? With the face thing, you have to be super naive to believe them.

Yeah but if it is against a foreigner and they think they outnumber them... then that courage suddenly grows quickly. Look how nuts they got during that island dispute.

Agree totally with the first comment. Chinese are gutless wonders. Just another propaganda Chinese translated article.
