USA: BACK-2-BACK WORLD WAR WINNERS!!!

Wait!!

Think about it. We did not “win” WWI: just tipped the balance a bit at the very end. And when one considers the result, we surely did not attain our stated goal: a “world safe for democracy.” Instead, out of WWI came the Soviet Union, and eventually Hitler. Some victory!

We clearly lost WWII. The winner was Stalin, who conquered Eastern Europe, and just a few years later the communists took over China, the largest country in the world. We may have fought well, but we certainly did not “win” that war.

The United States has not won a major war since the Spanish-American War, which was probably totally unnecessary, anyway. We did win the mini-war in Antigua under Reagan, which was short enough that we could hold out for the victory.

It may come as a shock, but we are not a war-winning country. Certainly not now!!

The clearest victory we ever had was in the war with Mexico. Then we were out-numbered in every single battle, and yet did not lose a single one. But in today’s comparison, we cannot even get the Mexicans to release a lone American soldier from jail. We let them overfly our border, and they “invade” by the millions. We are not even alert enough to stop large busses of illegal immigrants from calmly driving across the boarder full of whole families of illegal aliens. We don’t even have any effective military presence, and not even effective border agents.

And our rulers are mostly jerks.

So please spare me the rah-rah stuff.
