I had one actually:

When I was 8 and didnt Know what WW2/WW1 even was I can recall remembering an image of Standing about 30 Feet behind a Trench and 2 Rusty looking Canons being pushed by men up to the Trench. There seemed to be alot going on but I could not hear.

This was a totally real flash in my mind, and having known nothing of WW2/WW1 I believe that I had been Killed In the War Because I had Became Deaf and couldnt hear an Artillery Shell that hit Me.

Now that I think of it the setting reminded me of something from a civil war Movie.

As pennance, I suggest you read a dozen personal autobiographys of individuals from WW 2, preferably those not in combat or if so, ones that were enlisted at the pointy end of things.....TWICE.

It will greatly change your prespective of everything.

I would like to have serve with my grandfather we look alike and share the same birth mark Africa sounded like the place to serve except the flies

I would be a sniper on the western front-LONE

easy the 10th princess marys own Gurkhas rifle in burma

I would say I'd wind up in the Pacific on a submarine. Be amongst that 1.8% of the USN.

I would have joined the US 3rd Infantry Division during the attack on Italy. First we would have landed on Sicily and rapidly capture Palermo and Messina. After that we would capture Salerno and ofcourse Cassino. After that ofcourse the landing on the beaches of Anzio. And after all that action, the attack on the capital, Rome.

And as second choice, being a German or Russian sharpshooter during the Battle of Berlin.

I just finished reading Webster's Burma Road so Burma is the last place I would have wanted to have been. Nasty place!

Though this would be apropos here also.

I would join the Waffen-SS, preferably in the 1st or 2nd Divisions as a Panzergrenadier. It'd be pretty cool to have been an MG-42 gunner
