Why America keeps losing wars.

[Marshall]

I noticed we haven't won a war since we integrated the military in 1963. Coincidence?

Uh, yes? Just because the American Military hasn't won a war in a long time doesn't mean it's a coincidence of something- or it just might be. Care to explain to me what it is that you are thinking, 'Friend'?

Just making an observation.

I don't see how the gulf wars were defeats? we wiped out those darn hajis, liberated kuwait, executed sadaam, brought democracy to afghanistan and iraq. Not to mention the liberation of some central and south american dictatorships, and the independence of several nations like angola which were very much the product of american endeavours.

The war on terrorism is an ongoing operation so we can't say yet eather it is a win or a defeat

Well, you're allowed to make an observation. ^^ Everyone is. As was I just making mine, no?

Are you even reading the same words I'm writing?

We haven't won the War On Terrorism yet.

Well, when they started innergratin our colored folks into the military we stopped winnin the wars. I believe men like a Tyrone or a Daruis need to get back in da mess kitchen peelin taters. You keep giving dem black men guns and they gonna end up shootin up yo neighborhoods and rapin your wimman.

We elected a Muslim president. Does that sound like winning the War of Terror?

Who cares what Religion the American president is? What, do we all live in the stone age or something?

Re: Why America keeps losing wars.

Let's see...we are at war with Islam so we elect a Muslim for President. Sounds intelligent doesn't it? This is why we need IQ tests before certain people are allowed to vote.

That's a different debate though. Why haven't we won a war since 1963? I notice that blacks really like being in their own clubs and they seem to only like other blacks so why did they fight for integration? Makes no sense.

Exactly Brother Marshall. We didn't elect a Englishmen to the Presidency during the American Revolution.

Marshall - You make very good points!
Lest we not neglect the mention of womanfolk in the armed forces.

Overall skiddishness and deficits in things like physique, muscle and coordination make females a detriment to battle. Women could serve far better behind the scenes, under behind a desk, pushing paperwork...

Re: Why America keeps losing wars.

I agree with you Marshall, in fact, I think the last real war we won was WWII. To win a war, you need to completely destroy a country, bring it to a inch of its' life and the entire populace to its' knees like we did to the japs. No hearing a leader say 'I give', no sir. You decimate the country. You go through and if anyone even blinks in an un-acquiescing way, a 30-06 through the skull. You leave no doubt in the remaining citizens. You make them thankful to us we allowed them to live on.

Re: Why America keeps losing wars.

I think another reason we lose wars is because the public at large has gotten more liberal, frightful, rebellious, and stupid. Nobody puts things in perspective anymore. If you've noticed, the death tolls from our wars keep getting less and less, but it doesn't matter -- the liberal public thinks that as soon as a single soldier dies we need to turn our boots and run home to mommy!

Look at the current Iraq war: Since March of 2004 until now in July 2009 (more than 5 years) a measly 4,243 (as of today). That's less than a thousand deaths per year. Let's put this in perspective now...

Vietnam War, 1959-1975: about 58,000 deaths
Korean War 1950-1953: 33,000 deaths (more than 10,000 a year)
World War II, 1941-1945: 416,000 deaths (More than 100,000 a year)

And for the granddaddy...
American Civil War (1860-1863) 650,000 deaths!!! (More than 200,000 a year)

You can see that by every war we are getting better by cutting down our mortality rate, and our kill-to-death ratio keeps getting better! Can you imagine a modern-day public dealing with something like World War II? You would have protestors in San Francisco angry that we are going to war after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Actors would go on TV and visit Nazi Germany and tell people back home to "get out of the war". Let's hope we don't go into a major war anytime soon, otherwise may God have mercy on this nation!
