Would have loved to see the battle of Waterloo from a safe distance away.

Could you imagine witnessing a key battle in the last great forceful expansion of an empire? Gets me hard just thinking about it.

I missed Vietnam by 13 years. In perspective, the GWOT has been going on for 15 years.

Why would you want to fight in a battle you know you're going to lose?

Vietnam most likely, i feel like a weird loser for some much nostalgia for a time ive never experienced and i feel like a even weirder loser for romanticizing a terrible war.

I think its because there was a lack of formalities and the military was rather lax compared to what its like now.
>They allow women in combat, muslims to dress in something other than regs, and they are paying for sex changes but im not allowed to take a gun home with me or burn down a village.(these are jokes just in case some alphabet soup organization is lurking).
On the other hand maybe hillary will win and we will have another total war where the rules and regulations are waved.

also i really dont like to many of the people who join the military. I find them to be really annoying for the most part.(at least the guys from my town).
I think the whole anemoia feeling is lame but i feel alot.
