For those who have never been in war, are planning on joining the military, or have always waited to be asked the question, here you are.
me personally: Vietnam or WWII

well i've been in iraq and fought there. but i think i would have been in wwII because they were honored when they came home......we weren't exactly honored by some people....

I hear you.

Hell, I've been in Afghanistan. But I think I would've kecked arse and take names in the European Theater of WWII. Also I'd love to be a western cowboy.

what kind of welcome did you get when you came home? ours wasn't pleasent

It's a shame how this country treated its Viet Nam veterans. A real shame.

I would have been in the Pacific Theatre during WWII

t's a shame how this country treated its Viet Nam veterans. A real shame.

More of the wacko left-wing communist (Fonda im talking to you) that treated vietnam vets. The majority of the country might not of liked the war but respected the vets.

I have always been thinking about this.

I could have been to both, Vietnam & WW II

But during 2003 Iraqi freedom, I was thinking to join Marines that were fighting in and off of Nassiriyah (that famous bridge over Euphratis).

I wanted to be there too!

Hey guys, i'm Ausy, obviously, but i hear what you're saying about the way the Vietnam Vets were treated when they came back to America. Our Vets weren't treated THAT badly. Stupid damn hippies having absolutely no idea what the world is about, i hate them all. We were over there protecting a country's rights to live the way it wanted, and the commies just wanted it for themselves. What were we supposed to do, sit back and watch these people have another lifestyle forced upon them. There's no regime more contradictory than a communist regime IMHO - because it goes againt basic human instinct and nature, and the only way to keep a population in check under such a regime is through non-subtle violence and constant intimidation. THAT'S what all those 18 year old boys died fighting against over there, and it brings a damn tear to my eye thinking about it, and i don't cry, ever, at all. These guys were dying to protect OTHER PEOPLE'S FREEDOM - they didn't fail, politics let them down, and it's not fair.

To answer the question, i would have gone to Vietnam.
