I can't think of any battle I'd care to witness (not into war and killing), but I would love to see President Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address.
ReplyDeleteBattle of Thermopylae - I would like to watch the Spartans save Western civilization.
ReplyDeleteThe battle of the United States, a coup d'eta better known as the Kennedy Assassination.
ReplyDeleteI would love to witness the point where our country turned into an enormous federal dictate who saw as its mission to be the worlds police force, bank and moral authority.
I wouldn't. I'm not one of those people who bemoans the fact that food comes in plastic wrapped Styrofoam trays, but I do think that for most of us death and violence have become too vague a reality. Consider that Gettysburg at least 7,863 were killed. That's half the population of Depew, to pick a random WNY town. A battle is a slaughterhouse. By accident of birth I avoided Vietnam. I wouldn't change that.
ReplyDeleteNot a chance I'd want to be there.
