Your favourite war.

[Stalk3rchief]

Favorite war? I can't really say I have a favorite. I'm a history buff, so I 'like' just about all of them.
But, if I had to choose, I'd have to go with WWII. Mostly because that's the most recent war involving everybody. Meaning some new fighting tactics came into being to match the new technology at the time, and sometimes the wits of some commanders was outstanding.
The pacific portion was pretty interesting to, even though I think we [The Americans at least] took the ***** way out.
"It saved hundreds of thousands of lives"
They killed civilians, nuff said.
-_-

The American Civil War. It did so much for this country. Without that war, the country probably wouldn't have made it to WW1, much less help defeat the Nazis later on.

America didnt do shit in Europe during world war 2. the americans just keep saying they did all the hard work. D-Day wasnt an important event, since the Soviet Union was already stomping on Germany´s hands, wearing spiked boots.

The U.S. helped a lot in the liberation of France, I'd say the ol' U.K. and Russia were both more importaint than the U.S. in that war though. While it was true the Russians were winning-ish, they wouldn't have been able to retaliate and take germany without the attack on the western front.

I'd say the Falklands war, the military equivalent of holding a midget at arms length and kicking him in the nuts.

Nah in reality I like the Vietnam War cos there are so many great films about it, I have a hard on for jungle fighting, and the music was good around that time so yea.

 

[El Poncho]

None of them ?
I'm really not a gun nut...

Wars didn't always have guns.

My favourite is the Battle of Bannockburn.

edit: I realize it's not an enitre war in itself but I fail to know what the entire war with Scotland and England was called.

I'd say it saved more than it killed in the end, the Japanese leader was insane. He would have sent every civilian into battle anyways. Just be happy the allies won the war before Germany got nukes or we'd all be dead/unborn right now.

 

[Kollega]

I don't know. I don't like real wars - only fictional ones.

But WWI was peculiar,to say the least.

 

[WildManBill]

Definatly the Great Second World War, for me there is no other option. WWII had it all, the mobility, the fire power, the great scale invasions... I could go on for pages, but I'll be nice and I won't.

 

[MaskedMori]

Eh, I'm quite the opposite. I find the middle ages to be facinating and all of the recent wars to be boring. Now with nukes war will be boring as ever (Major ones). Not just boring, stupid as hell, one war could end the world. *Shrug* That's just me though.

...That's...pretty much exactly what I just said, yeah.

Old-time wars had interesting weapons and tactics.
Nowadays, it's guns and bombs - not nearly as cool.

The problem is that modern wars have a much higher body count, which makes them slightly cool.

_>. Random dyslexic moment.

 

[The Kangaroo]

36 minute war

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Vietnam probably, due to the bleakness and fucked-upness of it all. Kick-ass soundtrack too.

 

[Adaephon]

Sigh...I remember making a thread like this on a different website and getting a lot of hate mail for it.

But ya,for me it's the 30 years war.

i believe that the U.K could´ve handled the western front if they were ordered to it. and seriously? winning-ish? Germany was completely taken off guard by Russia´s counterattack. the US wouldnt have gotten their chance if it wasnt for the Russians.

Heh, I'm only really getting a few people posting about how awkword the question is, some people don't find war intresting I guess.

Their counter-attack was taking back the land they lost mostly, Russian winter strikes again. Russia is invincible to full on attacks like that. (During winter) Still, Russia couldn't have won that war against Germany without the help of Brittian, they were fighting half of the German army when the attacks on the west front started.

 

[12345cyclone]

The one where, y'know, people got killed and stuff.

I remember that war =D

I think they used weapons too =o

Yeah, and they had a battle

 

[Logic 0]

World war 2 for me because it's intrerchangable with any thing.

 

[omle]

I love war so much that it's my second favourite thing after icecream.

you forgot to mention that throughout the entire war, Hitler was continuously taking resources away from Operation Barbossa to fight againt the western allies.

both Germany and Japan had cancelled their nuclear research programs by 1942 due to insufficient manpower and resources...

Did they? Well, I wonder why they had insuficient resources. *Wink wink, nudge nudge*

I'm pretty sure that was clear when I said that the Russians were fighting about half the German army. :/
