Has the United States ever fought a war that was justified?

Apparently not, according to many students at Howard University in Washington, D.C., who were asked about that by Campus Reform.

"I cannot think of a single war that America has been a part of that has been justified," one student told reporter Eduardo Neret.

When asked specifically if World War II was a just war, the student said it was not.

"I don't believe America fought that war for the just reasons,” the student answered.

One young lady responded: "The only one that I can, like, reasonably, like, justify in my head is the Civil War."

You can hang the Mission Accomplished banner
over Howard Zinn’s grave.

What about the war on unborn children? You’d think they’d have at least gotten that one.

We improved Europe via WW1..?

Looking at that same place now, did WW2 improve it?

All the wars were just.

Those declaring otherwise are American enemies

Spanish-American War WAS a total set-up, we got Puerto Rico, Guam and (sorta) Cuba owing to it.

And Japan during WW2 ran most of her HumInt spy ciz out of the overseas Embassies of pissed-off Spain, because of it.

IMO, WWI was not just; and as a 'Nam vet, I can assure you that LBJ's war wasn't even close to being just.

We fought it because the other guys declared war on us, and one of them attacked us directly. It's hard to come up with a more "just reason" than that.

I’d be surprised if they could even name 5 wars at all.

That’s why one observant respondent said the ‘silver war’ was just. Or something.

Well, we’re not speaking the King’s English or German so, they must have been worth something. Howard University is doing indoctrination training.
