Its sad what all of them had to experience. Civil War I think would be the worst.

1. American Revolution
2. WWI
3. Civil War
4. WWII
These four stand apart for not only their casualties, but more so the suffering of the troops.

War is sad. An absolute admonishment of people being able to cooperate effectively with one another, beyond their differences. What kind of animal, with a coherent brain, wants to kill to enforce their point?

Were there many US soldiers participating in trench warfare?

Agreed. As much as a meat grinder DDay was. The entire Pacific campaign was DDay every day!

US soldiers experienced very little trench warfare. We got ole Fritz out of the trenches and made him fight in the Argonne Forest.

To have unique perspective among humans is to have war. War has been inevitable ever since one caveman looked up at the sun and said it was his god and the other caveman said, “it’s just a ball of light”

The horrors of trench Warfare and the mechanization of massacring mounds of men make WW1 a strong contender

WW 1 is what happens when the technology of killing gets way ahead of the advancement of medicine.

I imagine the Alamo wasn’t a walk in the park.

The men were chewed like burger,
Wilting wheat before the thresher,
As chattering machine guns claimed whole pals brigades of sons,
The war that was to be a jolly rout was far from pleasure,
As mankind met modern murder in that hell of World War One.
Artillery rained down and blew me mate's brains out his backside,
As hills were turned to plains without a single plow in sight,
And forests turned to toothpicks,
Grass to mud and blood and gore,
As the cannons flashed unending belching thunder through the night.
The Vickers gun spewed lead as fast as we could keep it loaded
The barrel got so hot it steamed like fog in the Ardennes,
I couldn't hear the screams when the grenade fell and exploded,
As O'leary held his belly trying to keep his insides in.
The trenches lay like rows of graves grave where only frost flowers bloomed,
Where we shivered in the frigid mud and spoke with steaming breath,
'Til gas shells came and rolled towards us bringing clouds of doom,
As we cried out for our mothers as we drank in poison death
The galloping of hooves awoke me cruelly from my dreaming,
The whiz-bang boomed and I could feel the wet earth raining down,
The dirt fell from my ears and I could hear the horses screaming,
The riders strewn like broken toys all scattered on the ground.
Our boys they died in droves with each charge that was undertaken,
A generation cut to ribbons for a bit of mud,
The dying cried out through the night, the song of the forsaken,
And paid the price for cravens with each drop of valiant blood.
Were that that war to end all wars had ended senseless dying,
For politicians safe at home who sent them all away,
And no more children wept o'er graves to sounds of mothers crying,
But still they die in foreign lands up to this very day

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned, I’ll throw Korea out there. Maybe not the worst war overall, but the conditions at the battle of Chosin Reservoir was about as bad as it gets.

The forgotten war. Some serious manhood involved on the ground there.
