I dont see how "world war 1 sux" as you put it. yes it was a horrible war for the people to live and fight in but you can hardly say "it sux" as in, it is not interesting. the great war or war to end all wars was much more influential in the history of the world than its big brother, ww2. it was the last civilized war, the first modern war. It dismanelted kings, empires and old tactics. it was the first use of MGs, planes, tanks, mechanized armies, and poison gas. To say "it suxs" only proves your ignorance of history to this whole message board.
as for 1939-1985, yes WW1 was 1914-1918. but can you think of a better forum to bring this to? why should it start with 1939? there are centuries of firearm warfare before '39. I dont see why it cant just be Pre-1985.
