Pal, are you living in a World War 2 time warp? Best military force in the world?? Based on what? Beating the same incompetent, Saddam-led Iraq twice?

Since WW2, every time the US has come up against any semblance of determined opposition, we have either agreed to an armistice (Korea), or we did not have the will to do what was required to win, we abandoned our allies, and we turned tail and ran like a little bitch (Vietnam).

A strong military is comprised of much more than fighting men and machines of war. And it is even debatable whether we still lead in those areas anymore. Our military is way too small now to fight a real war, and we are not modernizing our forces except for a few token examples. We are even unilaterally giving up the old nuclear deterrent that we still possess.

God help us if the US ever has to go to war with a country or coalition fielding even a semblance of a modern military force. The USA will get annihilated. I fear that is exactly what will happen when we finally come to blows with the Russians and Chinese.

Your braggadocio is about 65 years behind reality.

I think he’d rather nuke the “states in rebellion” than let them be outside of federal control.

Also, ol’ “we will crush you” Kruschev over there

ass-umes

that the US military members would fire on people from their own home states.

The US military is made up mostly of people from southern and conservative states - the ones that would seek a separation.

The Soviets (Yes, I say Soviets and not just Russians, look at ETL’s page for more info) and Chinese have it out for us, and they enjoy the damage that 0 is doing to this country.

It would depend upon the theater of operations. The Russians and Chinese would have a harder time taking us down here on our home territory, but if we attempted to fight them on their side of the globe, we're toast, at least conventionally.
