Americans have been beheaded by these animals. They want to kill YOU. They have cells in the USA that are working to find ways to kill YOU. Would you rather fight them here or there?
I can just hear assholes like you after we wasted another 500 billions borrowed dollars on a stupid ******* war brought to us by the same stupid fuckers (Republicans) that caused us to invade Iraq. You would POUND Obama for increasing the debt. With nothing to show for it. Except a bunch of dead and wounded Americans. Which you and your kind care nothing about.
Don't you dumb mother fuckers ever learn ANYTHING from your stupid mistakes?
nope, you have me totally wrong. What did the 58,000 americans die for in viet nam? absolutely nothing.
what did the thousands die for in Iraq and Afghanistan? absolutely nothing.
The point is that if we decide to enter a war, we first need to decide what constitutes winning, and then we should do whatever it takes to achieve that end as quickly as possible. We need to get over being afraid of collateral damage and hurting someone's feelings. War is hell, they way to prevent future wars is to win the ones we are forced to enter. and Yes, neither viet nam or iraq met that criteria.
ISIS is a threat to the entire civilized world, especially the mid east. The first thing we should do is wipe out all radical muslim cells in this country, then seal our borders so that no more can enter, then help europe do the same thing, then help our allies in the mid east do the same thing.
We don't need to put american soldiers at risk in the mid east. But we can hit them from the air and we can provide weapons systems to countries like Israel and Jordan.
Most people don't think this through properly.........
But the War in Viet Nam was the beginning of the end for Soviet communism. We destroyed them. Crushed them. Won every Battle.
Even during the Tet Offensive, 155 Villages, Towns and Hamlets were attacked in the hope that the Locals would rise up and help drive back the Americans.
They didn't. They went FOR us, not against us. Thus the atrocities in Hue City.
communism lost.
Reagan gets credit for defeating it, as he well should, but Viet Nam seldom gets the credit it deserves for crippling it.
Even the Chinese saw the light. And the Vietnamese are quickly trying to becoming more and more Capitalist.
We defeated communism in Viet Nam. That's what matters.
Asscrackistan? Too soon to tell. Same with Iraq
interesting take on history. The communists took over viet nam as soon as we left, the north took the south, we lost because we were not willing to win. Do you really think the Chinese were deterred in the least? Viet Nam was a total waste of american lives and dollars.
Now we are leaving Iraq and Afghanistan and the radicals are taking over, again nothing gained for the american lives and dollars. But we do have thousands of american kids missing arms and legs that have to depend on charity rather than the govt that sent them to get blown up for nothing.
We didn't "defeat communism" it defeats itself, it will always fail. Thats why China and Russia are becoming capitalist, because capitalism works, communism, socialism, marxism, progressivism, and obamaism do not work, never have, never will. We are foolish to fight wars against systems that will fail on their own.
Isis is another story, it is like the nazis and must be destroyed.
Just think about what I said. That's all I ask.
One thing I want everybody in here to understand..... Not just you, everybody.
Oppression and Slavery is the way of the world, not freedom and democracy.
The way things are today is an abberation, an experiment, unusual in its character.
People, good people like you, think that Freedom is a Right. It isn't. It is a privilege that has been earned and fought for. Not given.
communists, Nazis, Fascists, Rome, Persia, Vikings, Huns, Goths, Mongols, etc, etc, etc.....
That is the Natural Order of things. Not us.
Therefore, I respectfully submit that you are wrong.

Really wrong.
communists, Nazis, people like ISIS and dimocrap scum?
The future is theirs if we don't stand and fight for what we have.
We are an accident of History
