You never answered the “the huff and puff tough guy talk” like why didn’t you serve your country in uniform? If you had you would have understood the world a lot better.
The world is made of lovely, charming people who would happily cut your throat if they were in charge. The whole reason we have survived as a free and prosperous nation is because we have the best and most effective expeditionary forces at our disposal. Minus you, of course.
Avoid the Middle East and they come here to kill us - they already demonstrated that. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, millions die because those primitives will use them.
Didn’t you learn anything from WWII ? We thought that avoiding the European and Pacific situation could keep us out of foreign entanglements and we could just watch while eating popcorn. War came to us anyway and many more of our and the world’s young men paid because we didn’t crush evil when it first emerged.
Hiding under our beds won’t protect us. Getting out and killing them in their beds will.
Again, you failed to provide a specific strategy. Kill em all ain’t a specific course of action.
As to my military service. I was lucky, the draft ended the year I was supposed to go to Vietnam.
I appreciate anyone who served their country, including yourself, but having served doesn’t make someone any better at deciding what needs to be done on the international stage.
George McGovern was a great veteran who was treated like garbage by America when he came out against the Vietnam War, even though his stance turned out to be correct.
