Bush is a war president. He said it himself, stupid asshole.
How can someone be both a 'war' president, and a 'compassionate' conservative at the same time? It just doesn't add up.
Lets face it. Republicans are no good at war. Vietnam, Grenada, desert storm, Panama. Both world wars were run by democratic presidents and won within the same year as our involvement.
Not quite - my knowledge about WWI besides what started it is sketchy at best, but if I recall correctly, we became involved in WWII in 1941, but it didn't end until 1944.
Only a very small percentage of the army is actually composed of combat units. I know that in the Israeli army it's 17%, and that's an extremely high percentage. In today's wars and conflicts, the importance of a well-trained and profession behind-the-lines-keep-the-war-going-and-support-stuff troops has risen a great deal. A good logistics or intelligence officer is worth a lot. But, of-course, if you don't want anything to do with war, you won't become that, either. But, then, you might as well leave the country, as the taxes you (supposedly) pay help fund teh eval war machine, too. :)Quote:

Despite being told not to by both the UN, the USA and Israel, they have kept working on their nuclear program, and have nearly finished with it now. They ADMIT to having nuclear power, and they also have the means to launch war-heads (to reach Israel and Turkey, mostly). A situation where a nation with an extreme Islamist regime that has mass-destruction capabilities is a very dangerous one.Quote:
What did Iran do, and why would America go to war with them?
Well we didnt go on an offensive (D-DAY), until 1944. Really it was the Russians that won it.Quote:

really shows the ignorance of people hearing comments like this.Quote:
America has every right to invade the country because it is an outlaw nation
Oh wow, that's awful. Almost as bad as that one country like that, except they already HAVE used them. Y'know, the US.Quote:

I think given the state of the world unfortunaely, yes, every nation has the "right" to possess nukes. It's just too arbitrary and tyrannical to go after countries with nuclear weapons programs because we dont "like" them -but of course that's not going to stop the megalomaniacal elitists of our government executing their defense plans so they can feel better. However one reality check for you - despite what u think the fact we used nukes against japan saved hundreds of thousands, possible millions, of lives period, japanese and american alike. People often overlook the the island invasions in the pacific were the battles with the highest death tolls, not Europe.Quote:

You know i think its just we have nukes too and we are going after those that have it as well..if we dont have nukes at least i would feel...SOMEWHAT justified in what they do =/ But right now its just lying through their teeth >.<
Yeah but USA really isnt that active in there nuke programs.Most of our nbukes just sit there underground in states like Kansas.
Shadow8017, I ask you this: Was it even necessary for us to invade and conquer Japan in the first place? We had crippled thier military power, and they were no longer a threat to us, or anyone else for that matter. Why then, did we invade, and occupy Japan, as well as use nuclear weapons? I think I know why, but I want to hear what your idea on this subject is.
