I just think its funny that you people think we care what you decided the first modern war was. Civil War historians say its the Civil War because they started using trenches, they used iron clad ships, they used railways, etc. If the European nations had looked at some Civil War battles they would have seen that a war of attrition is the stupidest thing ever, yet they didnt and nearly whiped out their male population. I'm going to believe the guys who spend their life thinking about this stuff, not the guy on the internet with his own opinion.

The first "modern" war was the American Civil War

The Army can find a way to make anything boring. You might be fascinated by an FN-MAG, but to me, it's just another gun that is heavy and has to be carried places along with it's kit and ammo. I used to be fascinated with all that stuff to when I was younger, but it wore off. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy using them though. But it isn't what keeps me going. I hope you weren't serious about being fascinated by war, because war is not by any means 'fascinating'. Killing with the never ending threat of you or your buddies being killed is not 'fascinating' at all. You might think that you are an important individual. If there is one thing that the army has taught me, it is that every individual is expendable, especially infanteers. If you think that you wont see paperwork in the Army, you have another thing coming. Tyler EDIT: what did your dad do?<span id='postcolor'> My Dad was an officer in the Air Force in the 60s and 70s and 80s. He started out as a navigator on cargo planes like C-123s and went to Panama and stuff. Then he got into special operations with AC-130s and later commanded the Spectre unit out of Hurburt Field. Did at least 2 tours in Vietnam, and had operations in the Congo. He retired as Lt. Col. Before he was in the airforce he was in the Gaurd for a a couple years too. He loved his time in the Air Force and does not share the opinion here of "I would never do it again" He talks all the time about wishing they would let him back. He's 64. Now me, I want to be a combat controller in the Air Force. This is something I definately want to do and hopefully make a career out of. I cannot see myself doing anything else. (Well maybe flying but...) And a few opinions from Europeans on the internet is not going to change my mind.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA Oh... this isnt supposed to be a funny story...

That was awesome

I'm joining because of my Dad's stories, how much he liked it. I'm joining because I want to go places and do exciting things. I'm joining because weapons and war facinate me on a level nothing else does. I'm joining because I would not be happy behind a desk for the next 40 yrs of my life. If I were Denoir I'd be upset too. But I'm relatively sure that getting into Special Ops in such a "warmongering" country like mine that I'll see action and go places and do things. Just because that guy is some hippie who cries about dead Vietnamese, doesn't mean that I should reconsidering joining the Air Force.

When I look back and think how worthless grade school was, no you should not get payed for good grades. But in high school rewarding a kid for doing well is a good idea I guess. My mom told me if I passed all my classes last year she'd give me 600 dollars torwards a new computer. It sounded like a good idea. But then I failed Algebra II... so I didn't get the 600 dollars. But then I worked in the summer and made 500 a week so it didn't really matter to me. I forgot my point or something.

In the 8th grade I wrote a short story where the U.S. decided it wanted to dominate the world without having to worry about anyone else after the collapse of the U.N., so decided to nuke pretty much any developed country with any power. It was called "The Light" due to the flash of light in an atomic explosion or whatever and it ended something like this: "Frustrated because the President [Who was female by the way - what a weird 8th graded I was] wouldn't listen to his pleas, and knowing that at that very minute nuclear armed missles where racing torwards him, he stormed out of the Pentagon doors and walked down the concrete pathway. He looked over the Potomac at the Washington skyline and dropped his coffee cup onto the ground, breaking it into pieces. He saw the light." I thought it was pretty good and I only wish I still had a copy of it so I could read through it.
