It was also a joke.  

Edit: But if you think about it....the question becomes more real when it comes to defending your home. I'm willing to bet if you poll those same people and expand upon the question to defending their own "backyard", both sides will probably have increased participation.

Additionally, your argument can be extended to battles that happen overseas....what the heck do you think the Afghanistan and Iraq war was about? "defense of our country" doesn't have to be fought on domestic soil only.
