What time period/style of warfare would you rather have fought in?

If you could choose any period of time (antiquity, Dark Ages, Colonial, etc) and or a particular style of warfare (e.g. hand to hand sword melee, seige, force on force 'gentleman's' combat, etc), what would you rather participate in and in what capacity?

1976-2000. The era of small wars with definitive endings. Modern medicine and antibiotics. Phones and radios for communication. Combined arms and joint warfare. Plus...the military trained for large scale known war to maintain the peace. While older ages may be romanticized, once you get pre-WWII, that is gruesome warfare. All war is bad, but dying from a slashing or stabbing wound is torturous. Slow. Painful. A clash of steel and flesh. No thanks.

Honestly, none. I hate war. It is one of the dumbest things that humans do.

My question is: do I get to retain my current health, experience, and knowledge?

World War 2, as we would have been welcomed home as heroes', instead of being called every name there is when you got back from Vietnam
