Explosives from Iran weakening security in Iraq, commander says

You are an absolutely perfect example of how well propaganda works. There is a great documentary called "why we fight".....you really should see it.

The idea that we MUST FIGHT all the time is ridiculous. Our freedoms dont come from soldiers...they come from US. They come from activists, people who vote, people who stay informed and PARTICIPATE in the nations affairs. Soldiers defend the nation from outside invaders...

Ignoring that our own govt and keeping a society free is really somthing achieved by ALL citizens is a fact that is always buried. Instead we are lead down the path that only FIGHTING and VIOLENCE save us and protect us. I guess it helps discourage being informed and particpating in the nations affairs on a daily basis.

Soldiers defend the nation from outside invaders...

Now you're gettin down to the crux of the problem, Ruby!

Like, when was the last time the US military defended the nation from outside invaders? :eusa_think: :eusa_think: :eusa_think:

Indeed, how many years in its unparalleled history of invasions, incursions, and general military and political interference in others affairs, has the U.S military NOT invaded some poor feeble Easy Beat nation?

Remember that the War of Independence was a rebellion/insurgency against the British Crown - much like the Iraqis insurgency is against their criminal occupiers.

And the minor and belated fighting the American Armed Farces did in the two world wars hardly put a dent in the already defeated enemy.

For instance, in WW2 more than 80% of the German casualties occurred on the Russian front - before the American forces set foot in Africa and got their “ass” kicked at The Kaserene Pass by the - by then - thoroughly whipped and demoralised Africa Korp. And the Chinese - mainly the CHICOMS -and British/Commonwealth forces inflicted more casualties on the Japs than America.

I’m not bagging the American fighting man, mind you. :eusa_angel:

With America's show-pony troops “stiffened” by a cadre of Aussie soldiers – as they were in both world wars – they will finally stand and face the enemy.

We fired our guns and the Japs weren't a runnin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We threw our guns then WE began to runnin'
down the Kumusi River 'til the Aussies made us whoa

Yeah, we ran through the briars and we ran through the brambles
We they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
We ran so fast that the Japs couldn't catch us
down the Kumusi River 'til the Aussies made us whoa... :rofl:
