I think we can avoid a bloodbath over the matter, yes. ;)

Nice to see the U.S. making up for being late twice btw.
Roll on WW3.

Btw guys. Bit off topic but I've always thought this. Do you tend to be more interested by wars if your country is involved or doesn't it matter to you? I don't care at all tbh, I usually find wars from other cultures fascinating as it allows different viewpoints on the conflict. But I find a lot of people are only interested in the wars that their home country has fought in and played a big role in as they get to see how it's affected their lives.

I'm a lover of history in general and wars are an integral part of shaping a nations history.
I've more interest in my own national history than in others, naturally, but that doesn't stop me having an interest in others too.
Ancient history particularly.

I'm from the U.S. and despite what the previous poster said, I do still find WWI more interesting then WWII, though I'm in the clear minority.

But for the most part, I find few wars interesting post-1776 that didn't involve the U.S. Come to think of it, I can barely think of any. Guess I'm just ill-informed. :p:
