He was okay at best. If you like a man who slaps people with PTSD. He was also an egomaniac...
That's how we treat pansy-ass cry babies in America sparky. It's why we win wars and why you inbred outback Aussies lose them. It's why we're free and armed and your own government disarmed you pussies. It's why you suffer from both penis envy and nation envy of Americans. It must
really suck to be you.
Yeah, Vietnam was a great win. And the WOT. And the war on Drugs.
Mate, I'm about as envious of the US as you are of the boil on your arse. I'm not even an Aussie. My wife got offered two jobs. One in Aussie and one in the US. It wasn't even close.
As I have said before - but obviously you're a bit slow (too much of the old KFC and McDonalds diet addling what you call a brain), Aussie is far from unarmed.
And if you want to go on about your 'freedoms' over mine, have at it. I'll kick your arse from California to the New York Island...;o)
<edit> And Patton was still a fuckwit...
Vietnam was a left-wing failure. Not an American failure. Our military didn't lose Vietnam. In fact, you can't find a single instance during the entire Vietnam war, where the enemy went into direct combat with American forces, and won. We won. Every single time.
In fact the Tet Offensive, was actually pathetic. The N.Veitnam troops avoided every area where they knew US military was stationed. They specifically targeted South Vietnam locations where US military forces were not at, and STILL lost.
The only reason the US didn't completely wipe North Vietnam off the map, is because the left-wing socialists in our government prevented them. LBJ, and his band of idiots, had our troop walking around in circles, instead of attacking and defeating the enemy.
Our troops would call in an airstrike, destroy an enemy base, and be prevented from attacking and capturing it. The government would prevent them from doing anything, even while they watched the Viet-Con rebuild the base, and start launching attacks from it again.
When Nixon came to power, he allowed unlimited air strikes, which is why the N.Viet government quickly sued for peace. We pulled out under that cease-fire. The N.Viet attacked after the Nixon scandal broke, and our left-wing government refused to aid our ally.
We left Vietnam. We did not lose Vietnam. Our military didn't lose jack squat. If LBJ had allowed it, our military would have leveled the entire country of North Vietnam, and left nothing but holes in the rocks as evidence of human existence. We didn't lose anything. The left wingers forced us to leave, and let them take over South Vietnam. But we didn't lose jack. We kicked their pathetic butts, every time they attacked or the left-wingers didn't interfere.
The war on drugs is different.
The bottom line is that the public wasn't willing to do what is required to win. If we put these people to death, like they do in Singapore, we could easily have won the war on drugs. Easily. The problem is, people would rather have crime and broken families, and destruction across the country, than have an 18 year old put to death for dealing drugs.
The problem is, far more have died from the drug epidemic, than would have been executed.
Oh well. All you druggies are lucky I am not dictator here in the US. You'd all be 6 feet down, taking a dirt nap.
As for the War on Terror, no such under taking would have been perfectly achieved, but Bush was doing a great job. If Obama hadn't released all the terrorists, much of this problem wouldn't exist today.
