A Genie appears out of a bottle and asks…

[special forces]

Why can’t i ever have the sex-genie!?

on-topic: don’t know particular battles, but somwhere in a jungle defending against a wild japanese bayonetted attack would sound fine.
(Waterloo would be interesting as well)

[Most Holy]

@dinosaur:

I’d have to be a spectator at Waterloo.

This one is it for me. To be at Napoleon’s side and have a translator of course.

[Witt]

Do you not speak Corsican or Italian,  Most Holy?

[Most Holy]

Nor French. Working on Russian, slowly.

[Witt]

Good luck with that. Any reason you fancied trying to learn Russian? I do have respect for those who learn different, out of the ordinary(my ordinary obviously)  languages.

[Most Holy]

Many Russian and former Soviet Union friends. Sad history. Much like Ireland my second favourite non native country. But I’m sure as hell not learning Gaelic.

As a Texan, I have to add the Alamo.

[Most Holy]

Second choice would be the Battle of Yavin.

@ABWorsham:

As a Texan, I have to add the Alamo.

or you could reverse the question and be with Hood at Gaines’ Mill, charging and wrecking Fitz John Porter’s line! (Were you born in Texas?)
What happened at Yavin,Most Holy?

[Most Holy]

WHAT HAPPENED AT YAVIN!?!?! Only the greatest battle of all time! A rag tag bunch of rebels destroyed the greatest weapon ever created by hitting an exhaust port not much smaller than a wamprat with a torpedo without even using targeting computers! a filthy hippie guided only by an ancient religion closed his eyes and pulls the trigger and the Galactic Empire was defeated. Sheesh don’t they teach history in your backwards country?

[Witt]

Must have missed that one. Suppose there are lots of silly shaped creatures in it who do no speak a word of English, yet defeat the Nazi like goodies in a film based on the historical battle.
I will stick to Professional soldiers cleaving their way through and bashing hell out of a rag tag conscript army of misfits any day.

If the genie can transport a person back far enough, I suppose you could add Masada to the list of historic last stands.
