I second this...Favorite album of theirs.

I'm more partial to the Unforgettable Fire and Achtung Baby. Songs of Innocence is a keeper, too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II and the Star Wars trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there are lots of books in your library with cool, gory pictures. Well, good night, everybody. Peace, man."

The war that interests me the most is World War II. All aspects of it. However, I tend to focus on America's involvement in it, for obvious reasons. Not only do I read about it and consume as many documentaries regarding it as I can, I collect some U.S. jackets, shirts, hats, American Red Cross made for soldiers pieces (knitted by the Red Cross ladies), and some U.S. equipment such as backpacks and satchels.

I think posting "favorite" war comes across as someone enjoying it.

Perhaps if you re type it...something like...which war interests you reading about...that places you in the historical gathering category...more scholarly.

For example...anything from ancient times fascinates me...Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Ghengis Khan, stuff like that...nothing wrong with having a keen interest in reading about that. Same applies to modern warfare.

Just take out "favorite", and you'll be alright...

true, I love reading about the Trojan war as well

WW II has huge nostalgia. I bet WW II plane model building alone dwarfs our little community.
Although not technically a war I have flashbulb memories of the 9/11 Twin Tower attacks. For the only time I felt like I was watching something historically significant on television.

^I find WWII fascinating also.
It's hard to imagine what it was like to have to live through those times. I do enjoy watching WWII documentaries but sometimes they're difficult to sit through.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah, the phrasing is a little tough. I have always been fascinated by WWII. to say favorite about something so heinous would be a real tragedy. but in terms of history, the war that I find most interesting is WWII.

Just take out "favorite", and you'll be alright...

I'll leave it in and i'll still be alright

[PNGwynne]

Maybe I'm naïve, but I think it's possible to be interested in history, including military history, without ipso facto politicizing that interest. Anyway, ...


POTOS vs. MM. Is that too political, or merely impolitic?

[Blue Meanie]

I second this...Favorite album of theirs.

[Hector]

The Conquest of Mexico fascinates me...Spaniards vs Aztecs...thanks to that conflict...I'm posting right now...
