The Stupidest War in History?

[TaQud]

The Football War: A four day war between El salvador and Honduras over a soccer game.

[The Blaatschapen]

Probably one of the Netherlands wars with Louis XIV

I fully blame Louis XIV and his expansionist policies for those.

I'll go for the Kettle war though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle_War

[Capston]

The Cold War because it did not actually happen.

[Free Tribes]

Crusades, WWI, and Vietnam. None of these needed to happen.

The soup kettle must be avenged.

It was, ever heard of British food?

[The Drone Empire]

The Iran-Iraq War, more than a million lives lost, billions of dollars spent, and for what? Nothing

Oil. Money. The 'Spur of the moment' satisfaction of the American people after 9/11..

Of course, it soon lost validity when the death toll skyrocketed above the lives lost in 9/11, then the money problems, the dragging onward, US soldiers dying..

It goes on and on.

Vietnam, war in Iraq, children crusade, WW1

He said IRAN-IRAQ war, which happened about 30 to 40 years ago.

Besides, in the period of the Kettle War militia units were called "Exercitiegenootschappen" which is a great word.

[Caninope]

The 4th Crusade is pretty stupid.

[Polinikia]

The border war between Ethiopia and Eritrea (1998-1999), thousands of deaths, and the border still remains unresolved.

[Klowr]

World War One, Iraq War, & Vietnam. Quite expected. Since WWI just involved, a group of related nationalistic gorillas, throwing their shit at each other, whilst the lions were led by donkeys And the fish war, between Iceland & Great Britain, although not a war, it was pretty stupid.

[New Tunasai]

The Pig War. Search it up, probably the most retarded war ever to be held. Besides the war of the golden stool. Both involve britain haha. On the San Jose Islands I believe or some islands near vancouver. US and Britain fought over a shot pig. American shot a british pig and refused to pay and the war commenced. Want to know how it ended? They got bored and quit, both sides got bored

[Chinese Regions]

The Falklands War.
It was two bald men fighting over a comb.

[Homelands our]

I'v got a new one. world war 2

[SD_Film Artists]

The Falklands War.
It was two bald men fighting over a comb.

Indeed it was stupid for being two men fighting over a comb, although in one way you could say that its smallness is a sign of the state upholding its principles of citizenship- the state protecting its citizens with aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines despite the population being so small.

[Klowr]

I'v got a new one. world war 2

Definitely not. It was needed, compared to World War 1.

[Sammich Republic]

Coming off the heels of the Iraq occupation, I'd say now seems like a good time to discuss the stupidity of war, or rather: wars that were stupid.

I'm taking the easy way out and going with Vietnam. I mean, Iraq was bad enough, but with Vietnam, we're talking about twice the length. Throw in the bureaucracy, government deceptions, (seriously, writing a resolution and then just filling in the blanks with "Gulf of Tonkin"?) and poor military strategy and you've got the perfect recipe for a twenty-year debacle.

And...begin!

Can't think of a smart one. It's a tie.

[The united nation of clone troopers]

World War 1 It started because one person shot someone else. Wow, big whoop.

[The Archregimancy]

The Falklands War.

That might have actually deserved applause if it hadn't been an unattributed quote of Jorge Luis Borges.

1.Iraq

3.Vietnam

The communists started it first... And look who rules Vietnam now.

[The United Soviet Socialist Republic]

1.Iraq

2.Afghanistan.

I agree, stupid.

3.Vietnam

The communists started it first... And look who rules Vietnam now.

The invasion of Grenada was pointless.

The invasion of Grenada was not pointless in that, it was the forceful rollback of a communist coup and a rescue of US medical students. It overthrew a military dictatorship and swiftly restored constitutional government to Grenada. Overall, a splendid military operation which achieved it's objectives. Grenadians celebrate the US invasion as a national holiday, so they were largely for the intervention. The invasion was also supported by a number of Caribbean island nations against Cuba/Soviet Union's attempt to create another outpost for Marxism within the western hemisphere.

[Snozzerland]

The War of Jenkin's Ear.

I mean, seriously. Read up on it. Stupidest war ever.
