We may have dropped 2 bombs that killed many, it wasn't an easy decision as you may think. I guess you don't know you're history as good as you think you do. We saved many more lives by dropping the bombs than we killed. It was a terrible choice but the right one. Americans have more compassion for casualties of war than anyone else. Get you're history correct. We saved more lives by bringing the war to a quick end than letting it carry on and on. Our military knows how to win wars, it's always our govt. officials that have never served in any branch of military that end up calling the shots. This is our week area. They need to just step back when they get us involved and let our military do what they do best. WIN!

This attitude amongst us American is what makes us so damn good at what we do... You see, some people might say what about Vietnam or what about this or what about that but they don't understand that all of our failures was always due to our damn politicians and their stupid political games. When they don't stand in the way we are unstoppable and there are many great examples of this like Pearl Harbor. We were surprise attacked and our navy was hurt good but their was no politics involved and we kicked all kinds of azz. The Japs paid for their mistakes then we made the Germans pay for theirs.. No other country on this planet seems to want to make the bad guys pay for their mistakes so we step up to the plate and handle it. If our govt.s stupid political games could stay out of the militarys way they would always get in take care of business and get out. We have the worlds most highly trained professional military, our militant leaders are the best in the world and we dominate the air, sky, and sea.. So win our country has people like Amie123 as leaders and followers we will be triumphant. Our military knows how to win not lose. It's the political battles that stand in our militarys way of victory. Don't let your envy of us turn into hate as it does. No other country has evolved like America. ( sorry Indians,) the feather not the dot.

Yeah an I'm sure russia had a better shot at afghan huh? I seriously have a laugh when people try to look down on us americans, though I totally understand, being on top your always gonna have people sneering.
All are cowboys, we are all hero's. the american mentality pushes us to the extremes, thats the basis of our entertainment industry.
A war with China and Russia would be devastating for sure and would impact our society and shake the very foundations of earth itself. I would hope nothing that foolish will ever happen.
So go ahead P12SOLD, qoute our history, for we are here and now. I am a proud american citizen, a fighter, built for war, to defend, to never give up, to not accept defeat in the face of adversity, for aid, compassion, love, to push an here to stay.
You're nowhere close to being unstoppable if your own politicians are standing in your way. I guess all these other races are just inferior and don't have to political problems? This is incredibly short sighted. "Well, We would have won IF THEY LET US" What kind of an excuse is that? The fact is we had no right to be in Viet Nam and kill all those people. It's not a contest. WW2 was completely set up and bankrupt Germany was set up to lose and be the foes so elites could get a larger portion of the world on board with establishing more of a western minded presence in the middle east. Its no coincidence that so many Israelis have so much Italian blood. The Roman empire which is now nestled quietly away in Italy has been trying to do this for ages... THOUSANDS of years and look how successful they still AREN'T. Same old song and dance. We spent almost all of our resources to smack around tiny Japan and Germany that isn't that big of a country and was falling apart... and we had multiple countries helping us yet we had to do the most work and we are now the country that dropped huge bombs on innocent people and the traces are still there. Guess what America... The jokes on YOU because the rich who start these things to attempt global domination are probably chillaxing in Tahiti while stuff like this happens.
Hollywood can't save you from this.
All of Americans office and cleric jobs can't help you with this.
The flag can't protect you from this.
I doubt mexicans are going to come in and do it cheaper once a lot of troops start dying from this.
Do you think Chinese Canada and their secret gold reserves are going to help?
Don't say you weren't warned about walking into that fire.
THANK YOU! Someone else that knows their history! I wish there was more of us that paid attention in school. Its like arguing with a 4 year old...

Stared that, had to.
I hate when people get into the Americans used A bombs nonsense, this is freshman college info here, the cost in lives without those bombs would have been gigantic, I am... personally the hugest fan ever of Japanese culture I LOVE the Japanese and there would have been a heck of a lot less of them if we hadn't given them a way to surrender. Even an examination of the Japanese culture should make it plain to anyone they never would have surrendered without some extreme display they would have fought to the last damned fighter maybe the bombs allowed them to save face in a weird way. But obviously the typical member of the yell at America sect has as much cultural understanding as the bag of weed they are smoking.

Well you better get on with it before your country is completely controlled and owned by China..again without even dropping a bomb
love it if you would provide a link to this fantastic technology you keep saying will change the world and how it can realistically be done..edit on 1-9-2012 by all2human because: (no reason given)

What imminent war rofl...
Last I checked China has one set of ships it can force project with and at best had the capacity to go for Taiwan which they have backed down on for the time being.
Did Kim Jong Un read this thread and show it to Hu Jintao? Did I miss something lol
You might want to change your name to "Anaspie" because your being really Aspie if you actually think this thread is convincing Two nations making bundles from one another to go to war because of what we write lol

That's a pretty pointless comment seeing as how this entire subject is hypothetical.
How is describing a hypothetical war that has not yet begun as immanent in a hypothetical situation any more ridiculous than all of you who have already won the war in your mind and are campaigning it like a frightened troop on a battlefield who's trying to psyche himself for when it actually begins.
It makes no sense that you would find that odd when the same can be said about every other thing being said in this thread.
take a look at yourself.
you can't, can you? You're unable.
Are you out of blindly patriotic things to say? I guess so.
i see we're working on how the bombs dropped on Japan saved so many lives now. Do you mean soldiers or innocent people... because the bombs were dropped on innocent men, women and children whereas the battles of war should be fought by those who fancy themselves "soldiers" and if that is what they believe, why in the world would they rather that innocent civilians die in their place?
Secondly, it didn't stop killing people after the smoke cleared, so you might need to look closer at the calculations.
Furthermore... over 2 dozen bombs bigger than the ones dropped on Japan were dropped on Pacific Islands... Oh, but civilians were cleared out and even though you still can't live there, it didn't hurt anyone... oh really? Did you know some of the last Japanese hold outs were found on pacific islands in the 70s?
Two bombs you say... yeah, you keep right on saying that while you tell ME to learn history.
And you know what else, I don't exactly condemn the actions of what they did in Japan because they hadn't precisely calculated the effects and were themselves, surprised... but you know what the worst part is and this is why I even brought it up but I guess some are too thick to pick up on meaning (see definition of aspie) we were suckered into doing this. This is what so many people cannot grasp.
Where did we get this tech from? Who else was dealing with this tech at the exact same time? You need to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the creation of the bomb because there is a lot you must be missing. We were SUCKERED into doing this for the elite and we are still being the bullies on the block FOR the elite and instead of waking up and realizing that all this American warmongering talk is nothing to be proud of and that the colors of your flag have stained your blinded eyes but for a little piece of stupid pride, you would back up the thugs that send our people to war and are short sighted enough to get mad because our own people die when it's people like you who encourage it when AS AN AMERICAN you are supposed to be exercising your right to have a choice and maybe change this pattern for all people across the world since they are all oppressed by the same empire and think it's your robotic duty to just march right into the fire.
You're a horrible American.
You have no concept of what it means to be an American and stand up for what you believe in.
You are just another robot drone slave pledging to a stripey piece of cloth.
You have more of a chance than anyone to stand up to the tyranny of war fostered by the elites and you fail.
Dare you tell anyone else to learn history.

You know I'd like to quote that rant because it's fairly epic in nonsense. I think you managed to do almost every single thing that makes a post ridiculous in one fell swoop.
Bravisimo
You know China has some great cities and China is definitely one upping on the little big man syndrome of building bigger to show they are no1, good for them.
They just aren't some giant nightmare threat and your obsessing.
I don't care how many students they send abroad they are nowhere near per capita as educated, none of that means they have an advanced military they simply don't they have 9 Carriers to build before they even catch up with us most of their subs are deisel and they don't have projection power their warheads aren't modernized to withstand our electronic and energy counter measures for the most part and they aren't even our enemy in the first place lol
You sound like the people in the 80's who went on and on about how Japan was going to blow us out of the water and then they didn't lol
Even talk of how their economy will be bigger soon, maybe... it friggin should be lol they have 1.5 Billion people, but at the same time along with that and along with modernization comes upkeep they still have 5x the job to do to support it, the military of the future is small and high tech, 3 Million troops isn't a big deal in a world where one bomb can kill 3 Million people in a blast or compared to the challenge of getting them on boats particularly when the guys your fighting are parked in force in the Me on top of your supply of oil.
Your kind of compulsive do you know that?
And sorta racist too, your prescribing all these traits to them like some army of cybernetic hacked in drones.
Chinas doing a lot of building, good for them... they have a few lovely cities. So what? Americas engaged in wars we aren't building targets atm, It's sound reasoning actually and if China was going to or part of their plan was to fight anybody they wouldn't be so into sky scrappers would they?
All this drivel, Americans are stupid, Americans are fat, Americans are on the boob tube.
You know what? It only takes about 10% of a society to maintain it.
I saw a meme a few weeks back that basically sums it.
"They called Americans fat and stupid, Americans Kicked their (butts) at the Olympics and Landed on Mars"
Glad they have a Moon landing in a few years and are catching up to where we were in the 60's, enjoy all the headaches that come along with that including ending up in the position where we are now... your responsibilities taking all your personal money away
It's actually nice, I hope they do catch up with us we shoulder the whole burden right now, This planet is like an unruly classroom with one teacher, I think they do have what it takes to play and Pay, the Russians didn't, they dropped the states they held responsible for hardly have kids to further the cause, 20 years ago they were the guys who fought us hard in things like the Olympics now that are nothing Just a big Slavic Canada with Nukes
Did you ever stop and think that your country WANTS you to panic every time someone even so much as steps up to a remotely competitive level with us?

Seriously though, no one is really giving a strategic argument here. Can the hyped up people who just want to convince everyone that America can never be beaten (see Rome) understand that it's really not going to make a difference what you FEEL but more about actual strategic implementation. American pride says America would win So? Karma says America will lose Gold reserves say America will win Nazis had gold and they didn't win Failing economy says America will lose History says America will lose, call it a win and truth in history will lose Nostradamus hinted that the antichrist pope would be that last one & Italy is our ally so that means we lose The bible says something about everybody becoming farmers so we all win
