WWI for me. Trench warfare. Mustard and other poison gas. Total nightmare.

vietnam war...dense jungle, wet and very hot, booby traps (bouncing bettys, toe poppers ect).
The Korean War. No one really talks about: "Hey, you remember that Korean War hero?". I never had an essay on: "What was the importance of the Korean War to United States history."
Not so much that I think it wasn't worth talking about, but that simply no one talks about it. It was inbetween the biggest war in history and the most controversial war in U.S. History. People don't remember it...

The war between Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy.
Any war before guns were invented. You'd get hacked to pieces and bleed to death on the battlefield.
I corrected myself, ty anyway though. Sorry, I just read stuff a little too fast alot.destruktion_6143 wrote:

Indian Wars/Forced Relocations. Esentially Genocide of the Native Americans. Also rarley spoken of. Only differenece from the Nazis and the European Americans is a bad rap. Approx. 12 Million Native Americans before the arrival of Europeans, 4 centuries later that number was reduced to only 237 Thousand. 95% difference.

Civil War. Look at those death tolls. If you get hit, you get lead poisoning, if the bullet bouncing around inside doesn't kill you. Soft lead minieballs Shatter bones and break-up on impact, scattering throughout your body and really fucking you up. On top of that, You had to get a limb amputated with nothing but a bonesaw, sans anasthesia. After that, perhaps gangrene would kill you. That would suck.
The war on terror. No uniformed army. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Hands are tied. How do you fight an idealology.

Word. Dying by the sword, the club, the scimiter, the lance, the cavalry stempede....baaaaad. I'd prefer being shot through, blown up, nuked, or possibly even poisoned (if it went fast). Although, with hand to hand combat like that, you would probably have a more fair chance to survive as you can see it coming..can't see a .50 cal round silently coming towards your head.Stingray24 wrote:

Exactly...the cure for every other minor wound was amputation. Yeah, amputations before anesthesia. I'd rather kill myself.224th R0ck3tpack wrote:

Civil War. More people died in the Civil War then any other war.
Not to mention that it was pointless.-EcS-Blade wrote:

Either Vietnam, Falklands, or WW1 - WW1 probably takes it, gotta be so harsh.
That's not entirely true, though. Samauri were trained to be stealthy before they were trained to fight hand-to-hand. There was no need to learn how to fight if you had the element of suprise. That idea dates back quite a long time.IRONCHEF wrote:

Also, the American Revolution had guns, but hand-to-hand came shortly after (especially if you dropped your powder or your ramrod, no time to pick that up =/). (bayonnets)
