The Boer War

I chose the Falkland War. The war had battles from the air, ground and sea.

My second choice was the The Yom Kippur War, also known as the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. This war had some serious tank battles.

I was wondering when someone was going to respond this post.

I voted for the Gulf war and for Korea. My former Marine Div. was at the Frozen Chosin prior to my time in that Div. (1st Marine Div.) I dont see how I could have existed in that cold. Glad I missed that one. Of course I was just a kid then and may have been too dumb to know if I was cold or not.

ANYONE who battled the Ill’s of Communisn in the face of the world’s bitter extremes in a Hero.  NO greater human beings exsist.

Glad your unit was out there Fish, and if you had been amongst them - the patriotism in your heart, and hatred of your despicable enemies, would have kept your warm.

I voted for the Korean War and Vietnam.

They were both continuation fo struggles from WW2

I chose other, the Cuban Missile Crisis. It just amazes me how close the world came to utter destruction with in those couple of weeks. And what would have happened if Kennedy had authorized stronger action against Cuba. If anything would have lead to world war III it would have defiantly been this conflict if things had gone south.

From what I have seen of his posts ‘Idi Amin’ is just a troll. And a poor one at that. I try to ignore anything he says and await the day he is banned.

Kennedy was a coward.  If we had gone in, we would have WON.  And the Big Red Dog would have been obliterated.

The saddest reality, is Patton had it right, we should have attacked Russia, whilst we still had the nuke and they didn’t.

Moscow would have got smashed, and we could have been Liberators.

The rest of the world wouldn’t have been so fked up after that.

The 1973 Arab-Israeli War pushed the Super Powers close to war also. The Soviets threaten to send 100,000 paratroopers into Israel, if the Israeli counter attack did not hault it’s advance into Egypt.

You bring a another conflict that could have easily, become a much bigger war. I do agree with Gargantua, Patton did have the right idea. I mean just look at most of the conflicts post WWII some would not have occurred had the USSR been defeated before hand.

The Ruwanda conflict is considered part of the Second Congo War. The war is also known as The Africa World War because it directly involved eight African nations, as well as about 25 armed groups.

When’s the next one of those going to be, so I can get my popcorn ready?

It’s interesting that the amount of armed groups outnumbered the amount of countries by a factor of three to one.

I’m at a loss guys, torn between the Korean Conflict and Chinese Civil War, both for scholarly reasons and personal ones, I researched into.

Though, the many regional conflicts within Asia and Africa after European decolonization also qualify.

I chose other. I’m all for the War between United Nations Space Command and the Covenent Military. WHAT! you didnt say it had to be real. Also I think Patton was a good general but as a person i dont like him. Were talking about war so comfortably but in reality its hell. Im no soldier but trust me its not pretty. War with the Russians would have been a catastrophy. Russia had people in the insaide already. Stalin new about the A Bomb when Roosevelt told him. Also look at Russia! Its big and cold. Not like tiny islands in the Pacific or state sized countries in Europe. Also those russians were hard core. They lost it all. There homes, there family, there lives. They had nothing to lose. We decided to share the power. If one nation is all powerful they make enemies. If we COULD have conquered the Soviets then everyone would have ganged up on us. They wouldnt like us using the A Bomb on those poor Russians who already lost it all. Then we have WWIV and we make a nuclear winter. But there’s obiously something else at work in this world other than superpowers. If Germany was ment to collapse then the Soviets were ment to collapse as well. And thats an encouraging thought  :-)
