This could have come straight out of Catch 22 (which I finished yesterday; highly recommended). But it actually came from an American-born Japanese student during the escalation of the Sino-Japanese War:
"This dying for your country is not my idea of living a long life."
That's right up there with one of my favorite Bertrand Russell quotes:
"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong."
Words for the non-committal.
