Why do we need to be in Japan? They should develop their own military. I understand why we stayed after the War, but it has been 50 years, I think it is time to let them run their own military.I am just saying, we never really leave. And I get your point, and I wish Obama would follow through on his promises. I also think we need to scale back in many areas of the world. I agree 100% with Ron Paul on this issue. We need to stop being a nation at war, and take care of our own problems at home.
Before posting stuff about how we 'never really leave', you really should look at the reasons - in each individual theatre of ops - before you talk in general terms about what the military does or does not do. Just an idea.
And I don't agree with us being in many places we are, sorry. I don't think we should be spending so much money protecting other countries. I agree with humanitarian missions, but long occupations.

My ex boyfriend was over there for two years, I think I might know a little about what actually goes on over there. I mean he did talk about it, quite a bit.My ex boyfriend was less than an inch a way from getting shot in the head when he was on the DMZ.And I am pretty sure his unit was a combat unit, unless the 7th Cav isn't a combat unit. In that case I have no idea why they went to Iraq after getting back from South Korea. lol So you are probably right, there is technically no combat there. lol
I did not say that there was no shooting going on. I said it was not a combat zone. Please either educate yourself or don't comment.
Here are the current combat zones
Combat Zones
Even the commander of US troops in Korea says it is not a combat zone.
U.S. Forces Korea commander Gen. B.B. Bell said Thursday that a policy requiring most U.S. troops in South Korea to serve one-year tours without their families is an âoutdated relic of the Cold Warâ that should have been changed years ago.
Instead, troops should serve in South Korea for three years with their families, he said.
âThis is not a combat zone over here. This is a modern, first-world country,â Bell said at the end of a daylong visit to Camp Walker and Camp Henry. âIt is unacceptable in the U.S. military today to have this kind of policy in place and in any way condone it.â [Stars & Stripes]

Sometimes, it's not about 'running their own military. Sometimes, it's about defending the interests of this nation. It is not always obvious but, with a bit of effort, you can learn all kinds of shit about why we do what we do.
Did I say that? I think I was agreeing with you first off, second I never said it was like Iraq. I am pretty sure I stated he was in a combat unit, that went to Iraq after being in Korea.My ex boyfriend was over there for two years, I think I might know a little about what actually goes on over there.

You don't know jack if you think Korea is a combat zone = to iraq.

Sorry, I just don't agree with us acting like an Empire.
you're right. only a fucking retard would believe obama. didn't you vote for him?
retarded and a wuss-you're the whole package, swervelite.
Never supported him and have been calling him a sell out ever since he abandoned his church and began calling himself an "African-American." I'm the whole package because I easily slam dumbasses like you while leaving you in a state of confusion riddled into obessing over me personally instead of sticking to the topic. That is why you are immediately derailing your own thread into talking about me.
tissue, wuss?
Nothing like watching two retards argue!

So you don't think having a military presence in most of the world, is not acting like an Empire?Sometimes, it's not about 'running their own military. Sometimes, it's about defending the interests of this nation. It is not always obvious but, with a bit of effort, you can learn all kinds of shit about why we do what we do.

protecting our own interests =/= acting like an empire.
I got an idea, let's start a thread about coloring so that you can participate to.

Why don't you tell me what interests we need to protect in Japan. You seem to know so much.
I do love how any time I don't agree with you Conjob, you feel the need to put down my intelligence. It shows what kind of person you are.
me to.

I actually disagree with having troops in Japan, and have posted that before, so why would I now argue that it was necessary?
But if you want to really learn something about the military aspet of it, I will teach you grasshopper.
Let's look at our presence in Western Europe in the 80's. Why were they there in such numbers? I mean really if the Soviets took over Germany would that affect us? No , not really. Well unless you actually think in military terms.
It's called a prepositioned defensive perimeter. With the idea being that we could fight them in Germany and if need be fall back to England and even if that didn't work out they still weren't on our home soil.
Now if WWIII breaks out, where would you rather it be fought, here in the US or anywhere else?

I really enjoyed it in one thread, where I and a few other proved he didn't know what he was talking about, but I of course was the stupid one. Trying to have a discussion with the guy, well it is like trying to have a conversation with my two year old.

This would be less comical if it wasn't posted less than 10 posts after you calling someone retarded.
