Vietnam war. Snakes, booby traps, angry suicidal vietnames, hidden traps, kids with bombs/weapons.
I have to say any war before guns. It was just organized chaos. Even the tactics after guns were invented wher you had armies firing @ each other point blank...yikes.
me too in ww1

Vietnam war.
A fight you can't possibly win: none of the enemy are in uniform. No way to tell the difference between innocent civilians and guerillas.

Napoleonic wars, 1000 men that are standing 100meters away from eachother and fire a volley of bullets, reload and fire again, then charge the enemy whit a bayonnete, while the enemy are firing grape shoots at u whit a cannon.
My grandgrandgrandgrandad or someting like that where killed in a fight between the swedish army and the danish army 1814, he was on the swedish side and where a Överstelöjtnant = ColonelLuitenant i think.
We won the fight and 1million swedish kroner And Norway

The BF2 war, with all the noob tubers and stuff.
Same as Afghanistan and Iraq. Actually from all those Vietnam films they looked like they had a proper army.rh27 wrote:

The crusades. You march through the desert, then they hack you up, and do stuff to your body.
i hate deserts
A war with my girlfriend, a war that you cant win lol
ANY WAR AGAINST AN ARMY THAT HAS J10s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WWW1 especially the battle of the somme, imagine trying to gear yourself up for the jog into a wave of gun fire
The War of Attrition
You know, there isn't a single war I can say I'd like to be in. As such, I can't pick just one NOT to be in.
If I was a frenchman, I would say any war that France was involved in.
Ugh, I cannot think of a war I would fight in, but the Mongols and Huns were pretty vicious people to fight with, cutting people's penis' off and all.

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...

Which war would I least want to fight in. This would take a lot of thought. Punic wars sucked pretty hard, first for the Romans then for the Carthage.
Civil War was brutal. The American Revolution royally sucked for the Brits. I suppose it all matters on which side I was fighting on and where I was fighting.
Like WWI fighting for the following armies would be horrible, British, French, Russian, German, Austrian, Turkish and many more. The Arabic tribes and the US got through that war pretty well off. US only had 110,000 something deaths. Where as Russia easily had more than 1.5 million. Correct me if I'm wrong, too lazy to check (that's just sad). The French lost nearly a 100,000 in a day. Kind of Scary.
I think some of the old Greek wars were pretty horrible too. Let's see, you had a helmet shield and shin guards, otherwise you wore nothing. (It was fine everyone was gay back then). However, in the heat of the battle you might not notice when a spear took off your left testical.
War is brutal. Ever war has something that really doesn't make you want to fight but we fight them anyways. Kind of makes you laugh doesn't it. How we all say we hate war and want to see it end but it never does. Do you know why? There is always going to be tension and something tension will be magnified and understanding lost.
Hmm... Easter Island Tribal Wars. That would be the worst. Starvation and war... not good. Oh and no escape either.

I think I'd go with the Battle of Stamford Bridge/Hastings in 1066. Fight the vikings at one end of the country, then march flat out all the way to the south coast before getting beaten by the French. What could be worse than that?
no, this man is a dumbass. he needs to retake history with you. most of the deaths of the native americans were not forced, unlike the nazis. most of those deaths were because of diseases carried by the europeans that the natives had never seen before and had no immunity to. next time do your homework, kthnxbye.Krappyappy 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.
I'd have to pick a Civil War. I can see myself picking up a rifle to defend my country against a foreign power but to kill my own countrymen, I'm not so certain.Stags wrote:

Having said that, to consider the opposite - if I had to pick a war in which to have fought, it would either be the Falklands War (UK side). Defending the rights of my countrymen, albeit in a group of islands many thousands of miles away from home, against an invading army of ill-equped, ill-prepared amateurs.
WWI -- mustard gas, enough said....
