I would never want to be involved in a war like WW2, the horrors those men had to go through is aw-inspiring, I could never face anything like that. I salute every single one of them, from every country, good and bad for what they went through

Wow.

Wow because I'd join the Free French Army as a rifleman in order to help liberate France. I'd like to be a part of the French Expeditionary Corps in Italy, but then transfered to the French 2nd Armored to take part in the liberation of Paris. And if I had knowledge that I was from the future (meaning I somehow went back in time to participate), I'd try to squeeze my way through and get an autograph of Dietrich von Choltitz! (Hey, guy helped save Paris in a way.)

Of course, this was only supposing I had to join an army, since knowing me I probably wouldn't do so voluntarily.

I'd be Monsieur Rick. Yossarian can be Captain Renault.

Or either Private Kelly or Sgt. Oddball, plotting to make off with Nazi millions.

Oh, real people you say?

How about "Wild Bill" Donovan, coming up with crackpot ideas to assassinate Nazi thugs on the toilet.

Or Francis "Gabby" Gabreski, knocking down the hun, one at a time.

Or maybe this guy:



I always liked his style, especially the pearl-handled .45s. And putting paid to legions of pantz0r whores is always a Good Thing. Or how about Dugout Doug (same thing, snappy dresser, and love the pipe):



Can't say I'd go for the Russians/Japanese/Italians/Germans (don't like totalitarian regimes much, especially LOSER ones), or the British or French (too snooty.)

they were ivory, he once stated that only a cheap New Orleans pimp carries a pearl-handled gun. also, one of them was a .45 and the other was (dont hold me to this) a nickle plated and ivory grip colt peacemaker.

I'm sure if you actually noticed that this was for fun you wouldn't make smart-ass comments.

Ontopic: I would definately be an RCAF pilot, either spit or lancaster like my grandpapa. If not I would be a German Tiger commander.

Throw me in with the 761st Tank Battalion.

The '40s wouldn't have alot of exciting war options open for me.

Whatever, you anal-retentive killjoy pedant nitpicker. Anyone that runs around in a silver helmet and jodhpurs, wiping out the armored boche hordes, is O-tay in my book.

And what's wrong with New Orleans pimps? Neither the Germans nor the Japanese had any New Orleans pimps on their side, and look at what happened to them.

It's insane to discuss about where, when and how you would have liked to fight. We should be happy that we do not have to experience war at all!

I'd like to be a resistance fighter in France, mainly because being sneaky, shooting Germans in the back with single shot pistols, and helping shot down pilots reach safety is definately my thing.

Or I'd like to be Sean Connery in "A Bridge Too Far", and carry a Webley,

As foodmaniac said, fighting against overwhelming odds can be fun, however, only if you're fighting zombies (the zombies I'm referring to are from "The Zombie Survival Handbook", none of this Half-Life stuff, just regular stupid, slow moving zombies, like in Shawn of the Dead).
