You resort to ad-hominem attacks because you cannot justify America spending its blood and treasure getting involved in a civil war thousands of miles away.

Like I said, tough guy, if you’re so willing to shed American blood and treasure on the Korean peninsula, why aren’t you there with your own money and guns?

What ad hominems? It’s just an observation. Worldwide military aggression did not begin when the USA brought its forces on the world scene.

And you’re back to using liberal rhetoric by asking why I am personally not there, no less in a mercenary capacity. I could accuse that of being an ad hominem, but I am not the Commander-in-Chief nor do I have the resources of a large nation at my disposal, so I can’t take offense at that. By saying that our allies ought to stand by themselves so we can abandon them and only think of ourselves is a suggestion that the USA continue to voluntarily lose face; the rules are different for superpowers.

PS. What civil war? Imperial encroachment is not that. Forgot that MacArthur had to defend against Red Chinese forces entering Korea by counterattacking, only for Truman to fire him over it? The North to this day is a vassal of Beijing.
