Not politics, just pointing out we don't learn from the past... As SACS motto said,

Whatever. I don't have any enemies. Tired of other people telling me that I do.

Terrorism is not an entity; it's an idea. The fight against terrorism has been the longest war in the history of the USA. The cost in dollars, casualties and lives is enormous.

I'd say the modern world (the history of the world beginning after the Middle Ages). Some may say even longer.

'Wars' against abstract ideas is merely politics designed to influence the masses to participate while the politicians themselves don't have to.

We have learned from the past, that is why we removed the bombers from Guam.  Don't want to be caught flat footed like we did at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines like we did in December of 1941.

The threat to Guam is a swarm missile strike, possibly with nukes.

It would and is currently not a deterrent. I also dont think you grasp the concept of a swarm missile attack.

Funny but I would have thought that international co-operation to solve a global medical crisis might supersede posturing for global nuclear war. That's just me though :rolleyes:
