Excellent.

I might add that the “peaceniks” were responsible for the Vietnam war lasting 11 YEARS instead of 11 MONTHS.

Truces and ceasefires don’t bring peace, only total victory in war brings peace.

Yup, if we fought WW2 like Israel is fighting Hamas/Iran..et. al. we would still be at war with the Empire of Japan.

We won WWII because we snuffed out the enemy’s ability - and WILL - to continue.

How is it that, since WWII, OUR will to continue has consistently been snuffed out?

Sorry. Rhetorical question.

War is s simple equation: The winner is the side willing to inflict more damage than the other side is willing to accept.

Yep, it’s a political Crackerjacks prize. Not surprising in that the Swedes sat out WWII, being `neutral’ and above it all, while selling their iron ore to the Nazis.

So very VERY true.

In 1964 LBJ won the Presidential Election because Goldwater wanted to bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age via B-52 strikes.

Eight years and a month later President Nixon effectively ended the conflict when he sent the B-52s north to bomb North Vietnam back to the Stone Age. And how many of the 58,000 men on the wall died in those eight years? How many civilians all over SEA died? Now many Vietnamese military, South and North, died?

PS - my very liberal college professor uncle and godfather no longer talks about Vietnam with me any more. What a DEAL!!

The Sultan is sounding like a Saint.

...and that’s a good thing.

The word Peace has been bastardized just like the word “gay”.

[Rapscallion]

Basic rule of all societies has been when negotiation and discussion do not solve the problem, war is the only alternative. Winner of the war writes the history!

Since George W. Bush was very young at the time, it is difficult to BLAME the Vietnam War on him.

So why even bother talking about it? /sarcasm.

There is no moral technology to prevent war. Or rather war is the moral technology, that when properly applied, ensures peace.

The only reason I would ever "turn the other cheek" is so that you can kiss it!

To the Sea, Israel, to the sea.

One of those Swedes nominated Hitler in 1938. Stalin was nominated twice after that.

Instead the New York Yankees were being forced to play the Martyrs of Muslimtown for thirty years with the umpire stepping in every time the hometown team was on the verge of winning the game. Each peace agreement did not mean peace, it meant that the Muslimtown Martyrs would have another few years to go on killing and being killed.

Using an excellent metaphor such as this may just penetrate a few thick heads. The unfortunate thing is that people who need to understand it are not likely to read it in the first place.
