Yep, Karl Rove is working overtime on this shite

It is not a feeling, it is a fact.

1 We went to Vietnam to conduct defensive war to support a sovereign country defeat an invasion and insurgency. The support to Vietnam did not violate international law.

2. We went to Iraq to conduct an offensive war to promote the interests of a variety of policy elites. The invasion of Iraq violated international law.

3. Our political leadership in Vietnam understood only ground forces could defeat another military, maybe because they had served in war

4. Our political leadership here thinks that you can win a war with air power, likely because they are bitches who have never served.

5. Our enemy in Vietnam was not subsidized by our "allies".

6. We continue to support and prop up the very regimes who support ISIL, could you imagine propping up the Soviet Union or kissing the ring of Brezhnev while we fought in Vietnam.

7. Although we bombed Cambodia and destabilized their country at least it was unintentional.

8. Initially Hundreds of Thousands of Americans proudly went to Vietnam and our country supported the war until they realized it was not worth the treasure. Today Americans will demand action but will ruin the US military by making it a mercenary force.

---

We never even officially declared war in Vietnam, that shows how unrighteous it was.

I've even seen threads here talking about isis like they aren't human.

What fricking law is that, exactly?

International law dweebs know absolutely nothing about law as a matter of course.

I couldn't be further from a hippy if I tried. I just don't like how convenient the whole isis thing is considering how much this president, and some other western leaders, begged the USA to bomb and kill in Syria.

---

You do understand that the war that the President wanted in Syria was against Assad and on the same side as ISIS until ISIS made itself into a public spectacle of evil, right? Perhaps I phrased that incorrectly. You are too stupid to breed and to post. Please do none of either.

ISIS fighters doesn't seem to have much of a problem murdering innocent civilians, whether they or men, women, or children.

I'm sure if you shake the right hands you can be first on the plane to get them. Kindly count me out.

PS.
Please don't take what the government is saying about isis seriously, they want war.

link pls.

Oh, and since we are talking about meddling in other countries affairs, why did the NSA take down the internet across Syria at several points except to make the situation worse? I see you believe the propaganda. Have a good day, buy some war bonds on the way to get lotto tix pls :usa:

I'm not going to defend the stupidity and illegalities that characterized the Vietnam War.

agreed

quote:

The point is the stupidity and illegalities of fourteen years in Mesopotamia along with what should be very little national interest far outweigh the stupidity of Vietnam.

---

We lost roughly 58,000 soldiers for an ultimately futile cause in Vietnam. Good luck arguing that was less of a waste than our current affairs in Mesopotamia.

Don't take that as a wholehearted endorsement of our activities in the latter, however.

The war on terror is about 1.6 billion per terrorist caught or killed, and the war on drugs is almost worse.

Go 'Murica. Once again, as in so many other matters, our government creates the problem and then presents itself as a solution to the problem all to fatten the wallets of monied elites at the top of the economic pile. And brain dead Americans continue to lap up the bullshite.
