The Naval Battles of Guadalcanal on the midwatch on the nights of November 12 & 13, 1942.
Gettysburg on the 3rd day (Pickett's Charge) Agincourt 23 Easting Samar Omdurman +1 for Rorke's Drift LZ X-Ray in the Ia Drang 52 BC Caesar vs. Vercingetorix at Alesia during the Gallic War +1 for Waterloo |

The Action off Samar......US DD's and DDE's against Japanese Battleships and Cruisers.
|
|
The Battle of Leyte Gulf................Surigao Strait to be exact........or the Battle off Cape Esparanso as a close second!!
|
|
I thought it was 73 Easting? I bet that was a sight, whatever it's called.
|
|
+1.......but after that I'd like to fast forward to the sleeping mexican army being taken by suprise and having their collective asses handed to them at San Jacinto.......REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!! |
|
|
+another on Hiroshima with the firebombing of Tokyo second. Burn baby burn!
|
|
I would love to see armageddon |
|
|
The final battle between good and evil.
After which all the evil democrats that have been taken prisoner will be killed. |
|
Thermopylae.
We do this about once everyother month. I'd also like to have seen the pinning down and extermination of the NVA company by Carlos Hathcock and John Burke. |
|
The next nuclear war, but I wouldnt be suprised if a bunch of us might have front-row seats already reserved.
Kharn |

Canae
Ayacucho Carabobo Shiloh Okinawa Operation Chromite Dien Bien Phu Ia Drang |

The Battle of Cowpens, January 17, 1781. Help change the war. Nothing like the militia beating the crap out of regulars. Close second would be The Battle of Kings Mountian fought on October 7, 1780.
|

The future one (hopefully) where all the religious nuts drink the "special" kool-aid!
"The one between God and Satan." "Battle for life-- fetus pre-abortion" |
|
Battle of the Bulge, through its entirety.
Stalingrad. Thermopylae. 1588 defeat of the Spanish Armada. Ohio State vs USC, 9/13/08. |
|
I don't know if you could call it a battle, but I'd like to have seen Gunny Hathcock take out that 50 or so VC at elephant valley in Vietnam.
ETA Battle of Adobe Wells too. |

Borodino
The French soldiers actually fought well in this battle. But it was a pyric victory The Battle of Borodino French soldiers were actually brave here. But Napoleon’s tactics squandered them away in a stupid head on battle of attrition. After that Normandy Beach again. |
|
Ummm...I really don't think you would like either. I knew a gent who was in the 20th AF. He bombed Tokyo on the night of March 11, 1945 when we killed about 100,000 Japs. They bombed from 9,000ft. The smoke cloud from the firestorm went much higher. He said the stench from burning flesh made the crew sick to their stomachs. |

Something epic.
Maybe Sekigahara. It must be insane to witness huge massed formations of soldiers fighting on an open field. |
|
Damn...hard to decide, Thermopylae, Deim Bein Phu or Little Big Horn....
|
|
1. Yorktown (last battle of American Revolution)
2. Lexington and Concord (first battles of American Revolution) |
|
I'd rather watch a campaign, personally...
North Africa in WWII, or following 3rd Army thru Europe.... If I had to pick one 'battle', I'd go with the Ardennes (aka 'The Bulge') in WWII... Kursk or El Alamein, as well... Maybe watch the 6-day war... Come to think of it, there hasn't been a real good, two-sided tank fight involving the US since WWII (ODS didn't count - the fight was so one-sided that the Abrams maintained a perfect crew-survivability record (WRT enemy fire) all the way thru the end of major-combat in OIF)... Of course, one sided battles are better for the troops involved, but to watch history happen, a rout is a little less appealing... Maybe go back and watch the 48 or 67 wars... Israel is probably the last country to have such an action... |

09-12-95 The night I told my 3rd wife I wuz divorcing her......bitch damn near killed me ! ! !
|
|
The SowWein River Gorge attack by the AVG (Flying Tigers). Just seeing an entire column, the spearhead of the Japanese Army being tore up by those few planes would give me a giant boner.
|
|
They were indeed great men, even the most ardent patriot today couldn't hold a candle to them. Early America would have been great to see, thats the way life shouldbe IMO |

|
Trojan war. I really just don't buy the trojan horse gag. Wanna see it with my own eyes.
|
|
thats my choice |
|
|
Kursk
I think it would be the closest think to acient open field head on battle with modern equipment and i really like tanks |
|
Lexington and Concord. I had a direct descendent who was a Captain in the Militia there. Would have liked to see great great (etc) gramps whacking some redcoats.
|
|
Dan Rather vs. GW Bush
Cindy Sheehan vs. Hillary Murtha v. Kerry Dean v. Dean Dean v. Kerry |
|
Me to. |
|
|
I want to live to participate and see the outcome of the final battle.
