Tie between WWII and Desert Storm.

In WWII we rose up out of the depths of depression and defeated two world powers on two seperate fronts, helping preserve the free world. It was also the last conventional war, with front lines and the like, with two conventional military forces facing off against eachother. None of this guerila bullcrap.

Desert Storm is also my favorite because ot was so recent, and a very modern war. It proved to the world that the American Military was still very capable, and we absolutely crushed Saddam's massive, battle-hardened military.

The Civil war is very fun to study because it was the first Industrial War in the world.

Vietnam is interesting from a sociological respect.

But I really have to give it to WWII as it most significantly changed US military policy and represents the rise of American militarism.

WW2 wasn't the last conventional war. Korea was a conventional war, and so was the Falkland Islands.

Fair enough, it is actually true embarrasment

I was talking about American wars though, so the Falkland Campaign plays no part here smile

I didn't mean for those purposes, I just meant War in general. Like killing.

Or not. If there were never any wars, none of the great war games such as Halo, DoH, CoD, and others would not have been created.

I think it's a fair trade off /Sarcasm.

no expression

I would venture to say that if you look at the history of warfare and the repercussions of them, often times wars actually CAUSE more problems than actually solve them.

I think we are forgetting an extremley important war.
Grenada?

But seriously wat the hell was the war 1812?

Yes ww2, was most interesting. It was Americas last good war, in this war we were clearly the good guys and they were clearly the bad guys, the last 60-70 years of fighting its been a little foggy. Though no disrespect to the vets out there.

Well..I have a rather excessive "better off dead" list...so, you might see why I can see good in wars.

WWII, since it was the most recent "right" war, as in one we actually needed to be fighting.

I went with 'Nam because for once the British didn't get messed up in an American war.

I said WWII because it was kind of funny in my opinion what I mean by that is the stupidity of the japanese. What the hell were they thinkin'? Let's pick a fight with America so they don't attack first obviously it didn't matter much since we nuked 'em and won it
