It's easier to concentrate on past wars when you're not in the middle of one, I suppose. I've been by Pearl Harbor (Honolulu), but was 'too young' to go at the time. I lived for 2 years on Kwajalein, Marshall Islands which was a battlefield in '45, so I'm quite familiar with the war (absolute stupidest thing I did in my life was find an unexploded 5" shell, and brought it to the local police [I was about 7], one slip or trip and I'd be a grease spot).

WWI I don't know as well; Gavrilo Prinzip, the German raider ships, Q ships, the Zimmerman Telegram,  the 'sealed train' with Lenin, but the really nitty-gritty I don't really know..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
