to go back and fight

[doomed]

It wasn't the "fun what-if" question that got everybody's panties in a wad, it was this ...

rude and un-called for response to those who didn't agree with his demented romanticized notion of transporting back to WWII would be a cool thing to do.

If I had a what-if wish, I would transport back to an Austrian inn on April 20th, 1889 and smother one new born baby while it slept.

never said his response was called for but wow to wish to go back in time and nurser a baby has to be the most f ed up thing I've ever heard. Unlike most people I'm guessing, ihave had to kill someone up close and personal.  Self defence yes but does it cloud my brain if I play a fort person shooter umm no but then again I've never fantasized about killing a baby. You are special.  I'm done with this innocent starting thread since its now down to killing babies.

You don't have the sligthest idea what "baby" he was talking about, don't you? History not being your strong side, apparently. So no wonder his point flew right over your head 

[doomed]

He was talking about Hitler. You arrogant a@# don't assume to know me snailman. I don't judge you don't judge me. Again people REALLY need to get over themselves

well, to solve it, the April 20th, 1889 is the birthday of Hitler

Hints do not work nowadays. You need to include a direct link with a big "click here" sign. But probably even that won't work

Good advise ... you should embrace it.

Now to answer the OPs question, if someone told me I could fly a ww2 fighter in combat for at least 6 months but I would pay for it with my life at the end of it, I would sure as hell go. For that matter, I would likely go even if it meant I would only be a grunt on the ground. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afgan. Would I kill an innocent in cold blood? F no. Do I fear the carnage of war? F NO.

  you are so full of horse dung there hero...you think chuck norris can actually fire an m60 with one hand don't you.

MOS is 0311, stationed at Camp Pendleton,CA.my unit is the 11th MEU (Marine Expiditionary Unit)

if that is indeed true, then your comment about people's patriotism is even worse...i wouldn't be surprised if you still have that boot private smell on you...there is no glory in war, the sooner you get that through your skull the safer those who would have to fight beside you will be when the time actually comes to prove you have what it takes to do the job.

the 11th meu is a new composite unit...what unit did they drag you out of?

Awe. The elite are getting mad. If you think Hitler had much to do with the start of the war your even more dumb.than you think I am
The end of ww1 was one of the biggest starters of ww2 in thanks to the sanction s and penalties put on Germany.   Since there are so many history smart guys you also know the biggest threat to German victory was Hitler and his impatience. If I wasn't on aphone ode say more but it would not make a difference I'm sure of thatched @

I wouldn't even do that.  We know it was rough, but so far we're still here and things are, mostly, ok.

Make a change like that and who knows what happens.  WWII starts and ends on one summer day in 1974 with us and the Soviets tossing nukes at each other?

or the maybe world would be at peace and resemble Shangri-La ... who knows ... but millions of lives may have been spared from cruel and horrible inhumane deaths.
