Why do Americans think they are powerful in 2017?

[Aaronioslo]

that's a good thing. hope they keep thinking that way

[breadisfunny]

Just because you are too stupid to understand the difference between war and occupation.....

Guerrilla tactics are more effective with small number than large, that is why it is used. You really should just quit commenting on military matters, you know nothing about it.

Actually the US WAS restrained, hence the reason Hanoi wasn't a smoking ruin by the end.

because they knew the minute they did that china would send in their military.

You are comparing us with Nazi Germany and their Japanese ally as far as our morality goes

interment of japanese civilians in interment camps with inhumane conditions during ww2.

the trail of tears and other numerous actions that were pretty much tantamount to genocide.

the atomic bombing of 2 japanese cities when evidence has come to light that japan was actually willing to surrender after the first one.

abu-gharib.

use of agent orange during the vietnam war. (us is a signatory of the geneva convention making this action a crime.)

testing of chemicals on it's own populace in various experiments during the cold war by numerous government agencies.

dropping out of the climate change accords. (not technically war related but still the u.s. got laughed at by north korea for that.)
oh yeah the u.s. has REALLY GOOD MORAL HIGH GROUND.

[Seefer]

because we were fighting the chineese army. we also didn't fight then like we do now. with air superiority followed by ground shock and awe.

And they aren't fighting like they used to anymore, the ultimate cause of loss is underestimating your opponent.

Who cares who is powerful, every country is nice , i love my country (superpower or not) because it has nice states and every state feels diffrent.

Go America !!!!

[Occam-OC]

Buy yourself a passport, and move to Mexico here with me. You can get a job in the US and live in Mex and live like a friggin king. And the best part is, nobody wants to blow up Mexico

And at least in Mexico you're safe from the cartel's...

China would not have gotten involved unless the US occupied significant North Vietnamese territory close to the border.

The use of Agent Orange was not in violation of the Geneva Protocol, as it was not used for its effects against people.

You cannot compare the internment of the Japanese population in the US to Nazi Germany OR Imperial Japan. I'm not defending the US camps, merely pointing out the BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.

While the Japanese might have been "willing" to surrender, I'm pretty sure they missed the deadline.

case study of winning the battle but losing the war. a democratic country is NOT run by it's military.

no they just sent in troops and "specialists" to "assist" and did bombing runs over north vietnam. thus invading north vietnamese airspace. so yeah we did basically invade north vitenam just not from the land or sea.

Correct, the military won and the civilian leadership lost. It is the clay feet of the iron American hard power.

"Invading" in military terms refers to the occupation of territory by force of arms, of which airstrikes are not.

[Moonstream]

Aww the weekly US bashing thread, you never disappoint mmo-champ!

Lets be clear here. North Vietnam was the aggressor in the Vietnam conflict.

You people always seems to have some fucking snivelling excuse for murdering or mutilating kids.

An honest question here Advanta, why are you so obsessed with the U.S.?

You seem to have trouble comprehending the English language. The quoted statement was not defending the actions of the US. It was refuting the accusation that the use of AO was against the Geneva convention.

No where did Kell defend or excuse our actions.

Just report , he/she is hating for no reason, i wonder which country he/she comes from because it doesnt say, then we would make comparisons

Yeah do that. Show how much you people actually value free speech.

I'm sure you can get xskarma or Illiyra to do it on the most tenuous grounds imaginable, they've done it before.

Showing bitterness and hate is bad, free speech or not. Why do you have to hate our entire nation because of some government doings? clearly your jealous , you deserve whatever bad things are coming your way.

Bye

[Tierbook]

Mexico is a helluva lot safer than the US I can tell you THAT much lol

Doesn't Mexico get roughly as many if not more murders per month as the US? Which is fucking terrifying since they have like 1/3rd the population.

Really?, because it sounded like a snivelling excuse. He is welcome to condemn the actions of the US military in using chemical weapons in Vietnam unreservedly, as are you, supertony and the other militarists in this thread. Maybe you could put your pressure on your government to stop using indiscriminate drone strikes in civillian areas. I won't hold my breath though.

Dickheads like you need to be put into reality. Without American technology inventions, people like you wouldnt be talking shit on the internet like you are now. Get off that American CPU/GPU because since you hate the country so much, i suggest you use your own countrys shit (whatever shithole that is).

So get off that iOS/Android/Intel/AMD because guess what twat?? ITS AMERICAN HAHA
