Agreed. Those of us who are talking about a war we would have liked to participate in aren't saying that war is great, but we are saying that if we had the option of any way that we had to fight, it would be________.
But I have to agree, that those who have seen combat are much less enthused about war than those who are yet to fight.

I suppose I could put it this way. I would have "prefered" to fight in the Second World War alongside my grandfather, because I look up to him greatly and I would have been honoured to serve alongside him.

After 25 years of British military training, using fire and manoeuver skills, cam and concealment, booby traps and sniper attacks, I have been outwitted, I have decided to to escalate the war. I am going nuclear.

Like all wars, even the most technologically advanced soldiers will lose out to little guys with sharp teeth.

When it comes down to it, Korean Conflict would be my choice, a war in everything but name........ I would be serving beside my grandpa on a ship.
