WWI

WWII

Korea

Vietnam

Iraq X 2

Afghanistan

We’ve lost all the above wars. The reason, I believe, is clear. Nothing was thought out before embarking on these wars fought to save another’s bacon.

WWI was fought over such convoluted reasoning that no one was certain just exactly how it began. Germany got the brunt of it and Wilson made certain that Germany would be brought so economically low that Hitler’s ascension was guaranteed. So WWII followed. The Japanese were poked with a stick by FDR like one would play with an angry crab. They finally planned and executed a sneak attack on our unprepared military at Honolulu.

If we were going to give the Russians a bloody nose, we lost our chance at the closing of WWII. FDR and Truman gave Eastern Europe to the kindly Uncle Joe and created an enemy that would last until Ronald Reagan did something about it.

Korea was fought to a stalemate and had the suits listened to Douglas MacArthur we could have stopped the Chinese and Russians dead in their tracks. Opportunity lost. We retreated.

In Vietnam we fought the communists until we were forced to evacuate.

In Iraq we nobly wanted to bring our lousy, battered version of democracy to the Iraqis and killed tens of thousands of them. The problem is that they deserved and needed the dictatorship that ruled.

In Afghanistan we managed to stay longer than the Russians. They still hate us, but they’re happy to spend our bloated bucks.

Who do these leaders we have think they are? Who wants what we call democracy today? Why do most of our leaders feel that our ‘democracy’ is imperiled as long as the rest of the world doesn’t conform to our brand? Our nation and Constitution are imperiled, but yet the leaders are eager to involve us in yet another adventure.

We should all be afraid for our nation and our lives as long as we have these brainless loons running things!
