What's your "favorite" war(s)?

Vietman communism collapsed a long time ago , its all capitalist like China these days

The fun thing about any religion is how it keeps the name and changes everything else to fit the times.

Vietman communism collapsed a long time ago , its all capitalist like China these days

Crony capitalism. It's more like fascism (the union of corporate and government power), as opposed to laissez-faire, classical liberal capitalism.

Goring used his position to become the richest man in Germany, and to loot most of Europe for trinkets that mostly went into storage for the duration. The "rich commies" in the USSR, in their Zils and Zods and private dachaus built by German POWs, were every bit the capitalist.

The Germans only built one Dachau.

Still sleepy. I think I meant dacha.

Okay.. those last two might actually be things that I would support if they were true.

What an evil commander-in-chief.

I suppose the Vietnam war was a goodie.

Fierce little hut dwellers drove out the US hardware junkies, who had to run away with their asses on fire.

We could re-fight if you'd like.

BTW:

In an unconfirmed report U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) in Vietnam Claire Pierangelo, and three younger American officials, have reportedly hinted to Vietnamese officials that the U.S. expects the communist government in Vietnam will collapse within the next twenty years.

You ain't beaten the Afghan's yet. You won't beat them. You might buy them for a while, but as soon as you stop paying, they'll stop playing.

As far as Vietnam goes, so what? The republican and democrat governments collapse regularly.
And the US still lost the war. That's history, whatever happens.

Silliest War - the Pig War, between British North America and the US, triggered by the shooting of a pig, the war took place near Vancouver. There was one casualty: the pig.

Nah got to be WW1, what the fuck was that about!

Airing old grievances and a demonstration of the domino theory as applied to diplomacy and alliance treaties.

First Afghan War. As wars go, absolutely hilarious.

The one where Dr Watson got injured and that Rudyard Kipling bored us about?

[Clinton Huxley]

The Second Afghan War was quite a wheeze. You didn't want to get captured, mind. Not unless you could breath urine.

Yep, and they've been fighting throughout history. That area is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned, they like killing each other.

The politicians lost that war. We had to get clearance from Washington attack targets in many cases. That's just stupid.

I've been looking at this thread title for days and wondering how to respond.

So I'll throw something out there that should get some nibbles...leave it to men to have a 'favorite' war.

There's nothing I can see about war that would ever make me pick one to be a favorite...my parents and grandparents were both directly involved in or affected by war so I'm not just talking out my ass when I say that either.

Mai, I put "favorite" in quotes for a reason. "The war you're most interested in" was a bit chunky for a subject line. I don't think anybody is saying that wars are fun.

[maiforpeace]

But I still don't see any women showing interest.
