The Holly and the Ivy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 What was the most pointless battle in know history (in your opinion) and why? I mean by that a huge number of deaths for little or no land gained or land lost. In my opinion it's the battle of the Somme. 620 000 were killed for the English and French to gain 12 Km of land at the deepest point. And it was all due to one man's mistakes.

Jaime Duferier Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The most pointless war ever: The Falklands War (look it up) You know what happened to Argentina in that war? They complained about the Nepalese soldiers in the British army! How pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Dralcax Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 The war of the oaken bucket (really). Any war that ends from lack of interest and is over anything worth under $5 is pretty pointless in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirr Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd say, as far as casualties are concerned, Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mors Secundis Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 . 620 000 were killed for the English and French to gain 12 Km of land at the deepest point. And it was all due to one man's mistakes. Your A William Haig hater I see, Dude if it was for his Descisions Millions of people would have died, Hes a war hero and he well deserved His knighthood. As a matter of fact the war in terror was and is the worst war, its saw the death of over 5million people, destroyed major landmarks all because George w. Bush cant keep his hands in his pockets for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Random Dude Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Surprised nobody mentioned the Trogan War yet.I was about to actually. 10 god damn years in Troy just so Menelaus could get his wife (who hated him in the first place) back from Perris (Who Helen freaking loved). In fact, she for the most part left voluntarily, Perris didn't drag her away, she actually liked the guy. The whole war basically happened because a woman had an opinion. And the part I never got about the war was that it went on for 10 years, but for some reason neither side ran out of soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Icyblue Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Totally opinionated debate, with no clear "for" and "against" and too many tangible results. If you want to DISCUSS this, repost it in General. This isn't a debate, it's an opinionated discussion and thus falls directly under General. Locked.
