The Israeli War of Independence, 1948.

A band of Jews (Kibbutzniks, Intellectuals, Farmers, Holocaust survivors) number no more than 700,000 defeated the combined armies of several Arab states seeking to perpetrate yet another genocide. Rational determination can prevail against fanaticism.

Do you know how Little David helped in that war?

You know, I've always had a thing for the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.

All that French hubris and incompetence meeting brilliantly organized Krupp steel. Wasn't the French Emperor captured in less than 3 months? Or was that when the whole thing was over from start to finish? It spawned revanchism and lots of feelings that generated WWI as well as the Dreyfus Affair. For a little war, it did a lot of damage later on. I think that's really cool. It may not be my favorite war, but it's definitely in the top ten.

Go War!!!!

The Europeans used to invade each other just to have something to do. I think the lack of diplomatic expertise in the US comes from not having belligerent neighbors.

Oh, so you'd rather shoot your friends?

The war with the best name is "The War of Jenkin's Ear." Never amounted to much. Petered out in the end.

um I would like to know an individual before I shot him/her .
violence is too special to be used without discretion.
The power of force is made greater the more selective its use is .


oh and killing people is bad .........really it is ...........not nice .........

It's easier if you don't know them. Very hard to look someone you know in the eye and pull the trigger. Very hard.

Sometimes killing somebody makes the world a better place. Some people need to be removed, there's no other way to put it.

yes I agree with you on both points , I think it should be difficult to kill people , but then I also think that people who eat meat should understand what they do
as well .People who eat meat only if it comes in little plastic packets are just like the people who encourage wars but could not pull a trigger themselves.
And if you couldn't face unblocking a sewer then you should really get off the toilet .
