My vote is for WWI based on the sheer number of men who met their end in this and then the following WWII conflict. If this massive loss of life had not occurred for what may have been the most productive members of their respective societies, what might the world look like today?

Yep. It was the war that made the world safe for communism. Now we have tranny drag shows in elementary schools and churches.

Patton was right.

June 8th, 1996



And then the runner-ups are some wars, Atomic bombs, Moonwalks and stuff.

Imagine if France was still populated by the descendants of men who died in WWI as opposed to only those that survived or couldn’t serve?

The Germans would have split the atom and walked on the moon decades ahead of the US.

Absolutely not. It was LSU beating Michigan State, setting up the King's tenure in Baton Rouge a short time later.

By most accounts, country pulled together to do what was needed during WW2. Sad to think about how the nation and media would react today.

No WW1 was and still has effects being felt from the foolishness created by a small group of elites trying to hang onto their power and wealth

I’d go with Roe V Wade

Or maybe the Tiger King Documentary

One could argue WW2 was just a resumption of WW1

No one even mentioned all the inventions that came out of WWII. The technological advancements that came out of necessities for the war are countless.

I would argue that it was when the Saints won the Super Bowl.
