If you want full on War with no restrictions I’m pretty sure they would be finished up in a couple of years

It would be a few months if you eliminated all the wokeness in the military and Congress. That includes a large number of RINOs, so add the Bushes and Cheney’s too. They have no fricking clue how to fight and win. They rather get rich off the Military Industrial Complex than protect America.

Maybe she should read up on how the Japs treated her fellow Muslims:

Japanese soldiers hated Indonesian Muslims during their occupation. The Japanese regime that occupied Indonesia told Indonesian Muslims to abandon their religion and imposed laws that prohibited the practice of Islam in Indonesia especially in the big cities. One of the laws was forcing Indonesians to bow to the rising sun every morning ( Seikerei ) and Japanese regime was aware that Islam prohibited such a practice. When Muslims in Indonesia rejected to perform Seikeri, Japanese soldiers would round them up, torture them then kill them.

Or, this is the plan of Islam, to use our weakest political party to undermine everything we are to conquer us. Islamic clerics have been preaching this all along to move in, over populated and take over political parties and conquer us from within. We actually deserve this, because we have not stood up for morality and righteousness, but have laid down and allowed all this sickness to take over. Democrats in their lusts to win elections have embraced many aspects of Islam thinking they can control it. But in the end Islam will control them. This is the evil from within.

Many voters have given up on the premise that when some one like her gets elected "why even vote?" not knowing that their apathy is why nuts like her get elected.

Typically, only 30 to 40% of registered voters vote, especially in primaries. All it takes is 16 to 21% (a simple majority) of that vote to elect idiots like her.

719 Navy sailors killed
41 Army soldiers killed or missing
19,709 wounded
1 escort carrier sunk
1 fleet carrier severely damaged
1 escort carrier lightly damaged
137 tanks destroyed
153 airplanes destroyed

17,845–18,375 dead and missing
216 taken prisoner

The reason for Iwo Jima being controversial is evident of how beneficent American forces were. The island had actually fairly little strategic purpose. But we knew there was a massive Japanese troop presence. So it became an effective way of inflicting massive casualties without endangering civilians. 18,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, versus about 7,000 Americans.

Sorry, Iwo Jima was part of strategy which consisted taking multiple islands. Each island we brutally murdered Japs, took their airfields so we could strike the next island on the way to mainland Japan. Okinawa came after Iwo Jima. We didn’t want our rear exposed to Jap troops from Iwo Jima. It was a part of a strategy that worked. Thank God we had atomic bombs so we didn’t have to invade the Japanese mainland.

We don’t wage war like this anymore and it’s a primary reason we are eff’n losers.

If facts could sway such creatures, a quick scan of the actions of Japan’s Unit 731 would show how wrong she is.

However, today’s Democrats care NOTHING for things like facts, logic, or the basic concepts behind right/wrong.

The counties surrounding DC are infected with Democrats that work for government. This happens when there is totally unrestrained federal spending which expands government. They have to live somewhere close to DC and Fairfax County is just over the other side of the Potomac.

We are in severe need of downsizing government which forces all these Democrats to work in the private sector so they gain an understanding of how the rest of us work and what really matters in life.

And the Japs were only trying to expel the Western Imperialists from Asia. Yes, there are some people actually saying this.

Well, it’s true. They wanted to eject the existing imperial powers with their own imperial power.

U.S. was already hip deep in that dumb game, why do you think we were occupying the Philippines?

I think when the Japanese literally ate some of their prisoners might have tipped that evil scale in favor of the rising Sun.

But this is all 80 years old. Shouldn’t we give a nod to lessons learned from the past, fix what needs fixing today…and aspire towards a better tomorrow.

My older brother worked for the Veterans Administration in DC after graduating college. He left after about one year BECAUSE the private sector around the DC area will not hire anyone who has worked for the Federal Government for more than a couple years. They know IF you are a long time government employee you are LAZY.

What can you expect from that muzzie? She is just another Ilhan Omar who is here to establish a permanent foothold for Islam. Don’t expect any positive contributions from them. Another 9/11 is all they can offer.

Exactly. It’s been that way for a long time. I owned and operated a business in the 90’s. There was no way I would even interview someone with government experience on their resume. I’m not big on wasting time.

She is not confused.

WE are confused by expecting her to make a positive contribution to American society and not to recognize her as the enemy.
