While Dowding expressed his thoughts in jest, it is duly noted there are some that appear to believe the world would be far better off without the US in it, and that the US has had virtually no positive impact in history, recent or otherwise. I mean, look at some of these posts! Incredible.

That US General was correct IMO, since China flooded into NK and was openly attacking us, we needed to be able to go straight after China and attack them at the points where they were coming from . We should have declared war on China IMO, then applied whatever force needed until they got out of NK.

We were fighting China anyway...we just couldn't attack the Chinese past the Yalu river because of the ROE.

1.34 million Chinese troops crossed the Yalu River from Ji'an. We already were fighting China with almost all China could muster, yet we let them have a free pass until they got into Korea. That's just idiodic.

dowding... is a world under imperialist britan any better than one with strongholds of freedom and some communism and the occassional world war?   I think not... 1776 was a great year for human rights.

I think we both "got one".... pretty easy tho considering that we both believe the statements we made.

I actually beileve that Britain was and is a huge positive influence on the world.

That little island is remarkable with a facsinating history and a will of steel when they are pushed to their limits.

I didn't realize you could be an economic powerhouse when your economy is in the crapper. You must be grading on a curve.
