(24,365 posts)You're a vet. You say so on your profile. You should know as well as anyone that wars are fought for corporations and politicians these days.
You know god damned well the US military could literally wipe those countries off the map. And I mean literally.
But we didn't. Fight us to a draw? No. We just backed off. But you're right. Unless we had the will to kill every single one of them, we could not win, just as we couldn't win in Viet Nam. It would be the same if we got invaded here. No matter who it was or the size of the force, they could never defeat the American People.
"Wars do not end when one side is victorious, they end when the vanquished stop fighting"
I don't know who said that, but it is an old one.
Again, these arguments bore me, and I have to go to work in a little while, so I've had enough for tonight.
So...peace. Have a good evening. Shoot straight and keep your powder dry.
