Originally posted by MrCoffee Well I played a board game called Axis and Allies with my friends and every time I took England, I ended up conquering the board. If I got really desperate or was in a bad pinch, I would invade an ally and take his resources. Isnt that what any descent evil dictator would do.
Originally posted by midnight Target Another straw man set up by the right to discredit the left. The military is held in high regard by most Americans. Those who don't feel that way are either somewhere left of Stalin, or somewhere right of Burch.
Originally posted by Montezuma Sorry, but no amount of revisionist ranting is going to change the outcome of the Vietnam war.
Originally posted by anonymous dude please explain to me in detail the cause and circumstances of withdrawal of American military from SVN. also explain to me how long after American military left SVN before saigon fell to the commies and what happened in that period of time.
Originally posted by Syzygyone I didn't argue about the outcome of the war, just that the fault cannot be laid at the feet of those who actually fought it.
Originally posted by MrCoffee >Germany's military was defeated in WW2They lost the Battle of Brittain. If they had gained air supremecy and invaded England, they would have probably won wwwII.
Originally posted by Montezuma OK, we can agree on that.
Originally posted by Montezuma Far more important was the dumb political decision to start WW2 in the first place, and then to declare war on Russia and the USA.Under these circumstances, even a best case 'what if' scenario for Germany - Russia and England defeated - Germany gets nuked in summer 1945.
Originally posted by guttboy Well Manedew.....I am one of those individuals that you call "Aholes" above. I am currently on active duty in the USAF, I have been since 1986. You are entitled to your opinions, but when you make a blanket statement about the thousands of United States military personnel..."Aholes"...as you call us...I have to speak from the heart....its a bit upsetting.You are entitled to your opinion, you are entitled to your thoughts, you are entitled to do just about anything you want in this nation of ours......there is a reason for that.I would venture to guess that there is a large majority (not all I do not like making blanket statements) of us _______<----Insert your word in the United States military who take pride in the US and what it stands for. I take pride in the fact I can have an opinion that is different from you. I take pride in the fact that I can do just about anything in this great country. I take pride in the fact that I have guys that fly and fight along with me that do their jobs so that we can keep those rights. I take pride in the fact that the US military does a hell of a lot of good in the world. Perhaps a look at the good things the US military does on occassion would be in order as well.Is it all perfect in the US military and Govt???? No. Name a corporation, organization, or club for that matter that is. Is the US military or govt out to get you or its citizens.....In MY opinion NO WAY.Just my three cents....and I am truly sorry that you feel the way you do about the US military.Respectfully,
