SGT(P) (Join to see) nobody should be excited for a war period. We are trained to do our jobs and execute them. Part of our job is deterrence. If called upon it is to destroy the enemy.

When talking to World War II veterans they either never talked about it or when they did they said it was horrible and they would never do it again. We should pray that we will never do it again, but prepare for the worst.

No one who has ever seen war would wish to see it again, much less on a global scale.
One thing you can be sure of is that the way of life for most if not all of the planet would be forever changed.
Question is, is a world war worth all that? Or is it simply politics by other means.
I think it is unquestionable that we would win, but at the what cost?
"Excited" doesn't quite say it.
If it comes to that, this old Soldier will ruck up and do his part. For me, for my country, for my children...

No, I would be worried for our country and my family. I would be worried if it escalated into a nuclear war . Nobody wants a Third World War .

Proof the American Education System has failed the last few generations. Maybe We Veterans can fill in those knowledge gaps....There are many already.

World War means everyone is involved, why would we want that. Looking from military side, yes it might be "cool" to squeeze the trigger and take some ones life but we need to look beyond that. PTSD after the fact and how it will affect your family and friends as well. I heard stories from WWII and trust me from my family, none of it sounded pleasant. If it wasn't for the heroism of my ancestors, I wouldn't be here right now.

Thank you for all of your opinions Sirs and sergeants, I came on here to explain to many of my co workers and teachers that the modern military we have today face issues and have a current level headedness in today's military and to explain how we are not just war mongers but people who have issues like everyone else. I agree with all those who have stated no for the simple reason that war only brings death and nothing but loneliness. In the end thank you for your responses they helped men out a lot thank you.

Anyone who thinks those who wear the uniform and DO the fighting would be excited to fight the next world war is a moronic dip-shit who not only CLEARLY never wore the uniform themselves, but needs to stop getting their "information" about all things military from know-nothing Hollywood.

Good luck and set 'em straight Private...set 'em straight!

But October 28th. 62 was almost today that I could have died because had there been a nuclear exchange after the shoot down of the U-2 spy plane over Cuba what world would I have been born into? Judgement Day 1962. The week before he board building bomb shelters and cleaning the marketts out of all kinds of food thinking that a nuclear war was imminent. Not very exciting future to grow with up in
