Let’s try this, South Vietnam was being invaded, do you know which country was invading them during the Vietnam War and conquered them in 1975?

So you're telling us that it's our government's job to lie (Gulf of Tonkin) to counter one invasion with our own.

Same song -- different verse that we've used in invasion after invasion since then that always end up the same - a loss and a disaster for the USA.

It's the same old, tired story that has led us to a bloated military machine and budget, that's contributed significantly to our $37 trillion deficit.

So we spend our dollars on launching never-ending wars, leading to massive debts and over a trillion dollars in annual interest, while other countries like China, Russia, and so many others focus on investing in their own infrastructure and people, and not on never-ending war machines.

Smart. Real smart, cowboy.

You're so smart. Maybe you can explain how we can continue down this path without going broke.

Why won’t you simply name the country?
