I watched a small snippet on the news about veterans. A World War II veteran in his nineties mentioned that he had known veterans from World War I and the Boxer War. The Boxer War! I didn’t know that the USA had even been involved the Boxer Rebellion. That was around 1901. What were we doing in China in 1901? What was our patriotic duty to be in China at that time anyway?
The Boxer Rebellion was a disgraceful attack on China by Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the USA and Japan when China was very weak. We were part of a bunch of vultures who descended on China to rob them of everything that could be taken. This was an early example of America joining globalists in their imperialistic ventures.
The Boxers were killing US missionaries (whether they should have been there or not is another discussion!) and were destroying US property. (Again whether sending in the Marines or not was a proper response is another discussion.) This was back in the day when harming US citizens or are destroying, seizing their property might draw a vigorous USG response.
