The Battle of Guadalajara. Fighting confused Italians in a storm while Polikarpov's zip around the air in duels with Heinkels sounds interesting.

None, I'd rather not die and I've got no desire to kill random low-level grunts who probably don't have a real stake in the war anyway. If I had to pick I'd want to do something massively one-sided (obviously on the winning side).

You know...I like all your answers but those are battles I'd much rather get to float around in a chopper and watch rather than actually be sitting in rubble or mud up to my knees and getting shot at by a kraut or something.

Wasn't even a full regiment.

But even still, totally fucking doable.

I know the the movie and even the book to a lesser extent were satire or critical of that kind of government, but think about it. What is the best way to unite all mankind? Have a common enemy, the bug provides an excellent enemy for human companionship and comradery.

Again I know its satire but there are few movies that make me as gung-ho as Starship troopers. Imagine getting with your squad mates fresh out of boot and getting tattos, DEATH FROM ABOVE MOTHERFUCKER. All the while oblivious to the true horror or war, but thats all part of the grunt experience.

I would fight and die along side my fellow man against an enemy that deserves its death. Who's with me? I'M FROM BUENOS AIRES AND I SAY KILL EM ALL!

Sacking of Constantinople :^)
