Well, you said "serve", not "fight", so.......
I take Stan Lee's spot in the U.S. Army's propaganda division during WW2. I will spend the entire war drawing patriotic superhero comics and then use these skills to open up a successful comic business after the war. When all is said and done, I will have created dozens of characters beloved by children and man-children all over the world, I will be a millionaire, and I will cameo in movies when I'm like 95 years old.

A little over 1% for Vietnam.
>>1925192
For real though? Is that 1% died, or a 1% chance of dying?
>>1925196
Out of the total of combat troops in Vietnam, a little over 1% died from combat or combat-related wounds. Far less than 1% of the troops active in the Vietnam theater died. Iirc, it's in the neighborhood .1% or so that died in Theater. Check DCAS if you want concrete numbers.

I would want to fight in the battle of Stalingrad as a Red Army soldier. Because I have crippling depression and want to die.
Anglo- Zanzibar war.
lasted 35 minutes
I've taken longer shits than that
>>1926034
Man Knights Hospitaller weren't even a militarized force until maybe 20 years after the fall of Jerusalem to the crusaders.
Besides, being on the first crusade would have been one of the worst experiences ever. You travel thousands of miles in uncharted territory, to face wave after wave of pissed off muslims, butthurt Byzantines, and the worst heat on the planet. The "victorious" army resorted to cannibalism, eating the leather off their belts and boots, and were plagued with dysentery. It was truly almost an act of divine mandate that allowed them to win.

It was the last big war between states before nuclear weapons forced everybody to take a chill pill.
>>1932712
WWII is pretty dramatic. It's easy to put a whole "good vs. evil" theme on the whole thing, and you've got big heroes like Patton and tragic heroes like Rommel and big bads like Stalin and Hitler, as well as a kickass aesthetic and tons of violence, action, and intrigue.
Beyond the Hollywoodization of the war it's rife with events that satisfy morbid curiosity, people's love of violence and action, not to metnion grey-grey morality debates. Furthermore it's the most significant conflict in the modern age, and its consequences are affecting the world we live in today.
>>1931985
You'd have to be a Brit to do that last thing. But rolling with Tecumseh and Brock would be bitchin'

It's the most recent big one? and by virtue of spawning the weapon that could destroy the world, it might be the last big one?
Also it has a proper good vs evil element to it and pretty much defined good and evil our generations.
