Class war
Most of the guys i know seem to have gotten Star Wars.
Clone war? Sweet!
Which civil war?
Avengers
At first, I simply assumed that it referred to the Finnish Civil War (any war with any connection to Russia is top of my mind these days), but then your comment made me realize that it's more likely to be referring to some civil war that attracted a lot of international fighters, so it must be the Spanish Civil War.
War? Haven't seen one in years ... Oh that? Special military operation... This one? That's a "conflict" but I can see your mistake.
Genocide? Sorry not familiar with that word

Circum-Pacific War. The Belkan War's so overrated.
As a dude, being obsessed with war is weird.
As a kid, being indoctrinated early on by fairy tales with knights, then watching action films later on, I kind of understand, since you only know about the romanticised side.
As an adult, by the time you're supposed to understand the endless pain, suffering, atrocities, needless death of millions (even one single person), the barbarity of trying to resolve conflicts with violence, the immense sadness and sacrifice that comes with war... putting it lightly, I don't get war lovers.
But fuck me, I fucking LOVE to learn about the technological advancements, smart solutions, brilliant engineering (hey, even strategies) that came with those, from the first stone tools to holographic sights and radar camouflaging. On one hand, it's rather sad that we could only develop technologies due to threatening violence or trying to crush others. On the other hand, without wars, we would probably still be amputating limbs due to infections we can either prevent or treat now (thanks to field medicine development), and a civilisation that doesn't develop its own weapons (since why would they, they are peaceful) won't have fun when running into one that isn't as friendly.
(And for that reason, YT already thinks I'm a WW2 nerd)

it's a publicly acceptable history geekage
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I wonder if anyone could analyze education about war (and fascism) and how it correlates with the downfall of the History Channel.
It used to be wall to wall WW2 documentaries. And prior to streaming, sometimes there was nothing else on. So the channel was on A LOT while I was growing up.
Then they started with the Ancient Aliens and Ice Road Truckers shit and eventually phased the actual history out entirely.
Now it seems like the people who grew up during that period know nothing about this shit.

War is God’s way of teaching us geography.
- Paul Rodriguez
Napoleonic wars with specialization into the Naval aspect.
War on Drugs, reporting for duty.
For which side? Supply or consumption?
Consumption, sir! I first served in Easy Company, in the 101st Mushroom Regiment in Amsterdam back around 2015. It changed me.
Redeployed to push back the creeping evils of Marihuana and LSD domestically, but no matter how much I consume, I seem unable to make a dent in their availability to these craven loons and their insatiable and dark appetites.
I've grown very concerned lately about the effects of DMT. I'm hoping to volunteer soon to try to collect as much as I can find and ingest here locally, before it falls into the hands of a drug user.
what if you think being in to wars and history (The dry, battle of X kind of history, not cool shit like slave rebellions and famines) is kinda lame? Am I like a conscientious objector?

There is only one true war beyond all other wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War
... standing army losing a war against - birds
Mine would probably be the Spanish civil war.
Because I'm older than the age range I'm required to be a contrarian and go with Peloponnesian War.
Looks like I got Second Sino-Japanese, boy I hope I enjoy reading about war crimes.

fuck yeah, emu war
edit: stupid fucking ajax comment loading. you cant ctrl+f search for existing comment :\
When I was in Canberra I went on a day tour around the city. As part of the tour we went to the Australian War Memorial, inside I talked to the tour guide a bit and jokingly asked if they had anything about the emu war. He actually went to a lady who was working there and asked.
I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. I'm sorry, Bob.
C'mon, so lame. I mean, I agree with the comments saying that being obsessed with a war is dumb, but obviously the right answer would be the Thirty Years War. Far more factions, more casus belli, more fights. Plus, it bolstered German nationalism, which led pretty directly to the Great War, which led to World War II, so those are technically part of its history.
But maybe I'm biased, because my surname originated in the Huguenot diaspora?
Console war
Something something The North Crusade something
I am glad I am never alone...
Spanish civil war, battle of Blair mountain, and every battle in the war for international workers liberation.
I don't understand what there is to be obsessed about. Or rather, what do you do? Study ever finer details of what exactly happened over the course of the war? To me it seems mostly "on this day some people killed some other people, and on this other day more people were killed".
Like it or not, wars make people think and co-operate in amazing ways.
We only got computers because of decoding efforts. The first rockets were used to destroy cities, and aeroplanes improved vastly because we were building bombers.
Heck, Napoleon invented canned food because his armies were too vast to live off the land.
Churchill said the only history is military history, and it's hard to disagree.
The Long War
it's part of a setting that I'm worldbuilding. I keep lying to myself and saying that one day I'll actually write the book. Think star wars, but with a pinch more cyberpunk, an entire shaker of grimdark, a not insignificant amount of nsfw content.
It's my life's work, and I've got jack shit to show for it.

World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That's really where it starts for a lot of people.
The American Civil War is mostly where you'll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There's a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it's impact on the course of the war.
Falklands? I want to assume that if you're British then you'd like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.
French and Indian War? I'd just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you're currently living in the area that it occurred.
