Americans, which is the earliest war that you can remember?

[blobfish]

For me, it's just Iraq and Afghanistan.

Aren't you thirty?

 

[CandiCame]

This one I guess.

 

[renard_ruse]

Invasion of Grenada. (serious)

Shit, I forgot about that.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

yep..

 

[renard_ruse]

I can't help but notice the lack of wars listed for the 1980s. Except for Grenada, and some covert support for third world bush wars, the Reagan years were among the most peaceful this country has had in modern times.

The 80s rocked!

I don't know a lot of our wars. What the hell is Grenada? That sounds like a delicious desert. I vaguely remember Clinton had something about a desert, then there was the neverending war that we've been in since W.

World War 2, because my father was in the Army and fighting in Europe and I remember scrap metal drives - washing cans, removing their bottoms and flattening the cans so they would take up less room in the containers they were piled into. I was almost six years old and getting ready to start first grade when I read and heard about nuclear bombs falling on Japan.

The U.S. invaded in order to oust the communist leader.

Wait, what? Then you're in your 70s or someshit! Bullshit.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

You also forgot Somalia and Haiti.

I know what the cold war is.

Is 'Urgent Fury" where Agent Nick Fury got his name?

Fighting pirates is not a war. It's an action movie.

Mogadishu might count, but Haiti was hardly a war.

Operation gothic serpent... AKA: black hawk down

He's talking about Mogadishu, where the famous "Black Hawk Down" incident took place. It doesn't have to do with the Somali pirates.

We where 30 minutes from jumping in till the military threw off their uniforms and hid. We landed, but still took sporadic sniper fire, and brief engagements for 6 months. By we... I include myself.

That was because of Vietnam.

The First Gulf.

I was really, really young and only remember vague mentions of it. I certainly didn't have any interest in it at three, but I do remember people around me being interested in it.

But then, I remember a lot of things from then I was three. Like when I figured out how to mentally undress my preschool teacher.

You may as well have landed in Chicago.
