Would you have preferred to die in a glorious battle from long ago?

[Weebster]

The methods available don't give me that rush of purpose and feeling that a glorious battlefield death would give me. I wish I could've fought alongside Alexander the Great or Cortez when he fought the natives.

 

[Manaaja]

Yes!

It would have A: made me feel that my death wasn't wasted or useless, B: made me feel like a badass, and C: imagine if I was fighting against several strong opponents, won, and got sniped. I'd have still felt like a winner even if I died in the end.

We've been cheated out of an honorable death.

No man, I wouldn't want to fight with swords and spears, must have been horrible. Modern warfare is more humane in that aspect, at least it's over with quickly usually. Don't like Cortez, although Aztecs were no hippies as well. The reason why Cortez took Tenochtitlan was because surrounding tribes hated Aztecs to the degree they would rather ally with unfamiliar outsiders who brought nothing but death and disease. Alexander wasn't much better, conquering mostly desert for what, to die before he can return back home. Also I wouldn't want to kill anyone even in war, I'm afraid of bad karma like hell.

Absolutely yes! The adrenaline rushing through their veins must have felt like heaven. I would probably die over something small and silly, probably falling off a horse. You feel like a hero and everyone will know you as a hero, and when you'll breathe your last breath on the battlefield, I'm pretty sure you'll feel satisfied.

Ah yes, knowing my luck, I would've died from:

-Dysentery
-Trench foot and being eaten alive by rats
-Mustard gas
-Burning oil dropped while I follow my brothers in a pointless war because the King wanted 2 acres of land that was owned by his brother's cousin.
-Starve to death in a cage because I was captured trying to make a peace offering
-Ordered to charge up a hill onto incoming cannonball fire and muskets from an enemy with superior advantage (Pickett's charge)
-Gangrene in a field hospital tent
-Arrow to the knee
-Arrow to the balls or eyes
-Fucking arrows
-Scalped by Indians
-Captured and experimented on (Unit 931)

Yeah...no thanks.

[Kurinoy]

I could have died in riot protests idk if that counts xD

 

[gottablast888]

yes i would love to go out as a gangster

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

It sounds nice but I doubt I would even get that far since I'm already too cowardly for even modern issues anyway.

 

[Celerity]

I like to fantasize about this sometimes because it would mean my life might have some meaning, but then I remember I am a wimp with an extremely low pain tolerance and, despite my temper, a robust aversion to violence.

 

[Alex6216]

No, I wouldnt. Most of the time death in war comes in a very painful manner, if I really didnt care about pain I would have stabbed my carotid arteries and died years ago

 

[GentleJerk]

Maybe lol

 

[Jeannine]

Fug, I daydream about this often but i don't like saying it because I have a heavy attachment to the soldiers and dislike coming off as ungrateful, but as a Byronic-romantic sort i would love to see my end by a grand leader who will comfort me as i pass lol. perhaps one of the world wars or napoleonic, but that's just currently what i'm into
