In hindsight--American Wars

[Donerail]

Revolutionary war, civil war, WWII.

Seconded.

Also, who else is disturbed that four of our users would not go to war against Nazi Germany and Japan after they declared war on us?

I believe those are people who thought that we should not have materially supported the Soviets/British and thus wouldn't have had war declared upon us.

Interesting to see that World War I can only muster about 1/3 support.

WWI was the one without concentration camps (so no major event that is seared into our collective consciousness), and is also the one American entered for only about a year, so it gets only a page or three in the history textbooks (compared to the whole chapter on WWII).

Very interesting to see how many of this forum's users are pinko-hippy-peaceniks. Voted for all but Vietnam, 1812, and 2 or 3 others. That so many voted against World War II and the Civil war is disgusting. Also, I wonder how many of those who voted against the revolution are Americans.

I voted against and I'm British

u mad we won?

*Lost every battle but won the war

Every battle? You, sir, do not know your history. Observe:



Bunker Hill, the very definition of Pyrrhic victory

Cowpens, a decisive event in the reconquest of South Carolina

Trenton, American victory that was a major morale boost

Saratoga, American victory, defeat of British plan to split off New England

Ft. Sacksville, in which the Americans took control of much of the West

Yorktown

Surrender of Cornwallis

You do realize I was joking, right?

Yeah, but I find Rev. War artwork interesting.
