Civil - No way medical killed more then the enemy
WW1 - No way we had some of the worst weapons compared to our enemy
WW2 - No way see above comment
Korean Conflict - Dont even know this war LOL
Vietnam - Last choice but still the one id rather be in. At least we had decent weapon and 5 dolla make you halla options
If i really had to choose it would the the Gulf because we pretty much owned the entire thing start to finish and we lost the least amount of Military folkMalo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Yes... I was careful to put "Conflict" in the Korean one... I left out the Gulf on purpose, although I have NO doubt it was Hell...

civil war - 625,000 KIA 1.988% of population
WWI - 116,516 American KIA .110% of population
WWII - 405,399 American KIA .307% of population
Korea - 36,516 American KIA .02% of population
Vietnam - 58,209 American KIA .03% of population
so by the number I will say Korea, seems I would have the greatest chance of coming home alive.Last edited by rdlangston13; 12-16-2011 at 03:04 PM.

WWII. Because then, live or die I would have contributed to beating Hitler, etc. and would have had the opportunity to fight alongside the greatest generation of heroes our country has known since the Revolution. They came home and changed this country but never forgot what they fought for. Never met one that would not do what was right just because it was right.
