When you look back at a century as the poster mentions...World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I and II all come to mind. The US homeland was never really threatened...but US involvement did free many countries from invasion. And the US did help to free China from terrible oppression by the Japanese so I don't see the irony, there. Granted the US got in late several times after host countries had already suffered severe losses...but bottom line is there's been a lot of American blood dropped on foreign soil for other's freedom. Yes, at a great cost to the US...and great debt.
You seriously need a history lesson. But then again ignorance is bliss which is the reason they don't teach history in the US.
Lets look at WW1. US drags feet to get involved but then finally gets involved, not to defend Europe but because they realised they needed to be part of the carve up of the middle east where everyone has realised oil is going to be huge in the 20th century.
WW2 US drags its feet to get involved but finally when the UK is on it's knees does a deal to finance so much to them that it cripples the country. USA also realises again that Russia will be taking possession of so much of eastern europe that they need to be there to get their share of the plunder.
Korea, nothing but a reds under the bed which resulted in the US getting their asses kicked when they tried to invade China.
Vietnam A empirical war by the French who had for years oppressed Vietnam, they get their asses kicked and bail out handing it to the US. They also get their asses kicked and are directly the cause of mass genocide in Cambodia when they drop more bombs than in WW2 killing millions of civilians and opening the door to Pol Pot.
Iraq, seriously you even need that one explained to you? It's absolutely shown that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and that they had no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was just another push by US to control or disrupt middle eastern oil prices. thousands killed and the creation of ISIS.
Syria same ole same ole
Libya, same
Afghanistan massive mineral's all being controlled by US now
Somalia More bombs than any president during Obama reign
Its disgusting that Americans go round calling this freedom and then saying how everyone should honour the heroes who died for these causes. Just do some research and listen to your own soldiers who figured out what has really being going on. But nah you wont be doing that, better to keep your head in the sand and say how wonderful and free you are. |
