"war is war" hfojvt Sep 2013 #42

The logical fallacy is yours. It is not DirkGently Sep 2013 #50

the phrase "war is war" does argue that all wars are equal hfojvt Sep 2013 #62

Nonsense semantic dodging. Vietnam was never declared. DirkGently Sep 2013 #73

Whether we put troops on the ground is irrelevant MNBrewer Sep 2013 #34
