define moral
"We fought for moral reasons"
Let's go through the wars shall we?
WWI - We were forced into that by things like the Suslove pledge, the Zimmerman note, etc.
WWII - Japan got angry at us for embargoing them. Not moral, we were forced into this war as well.
Vietnam War and Korean War - killed tons of civilians (we pretty much bombed everything in Korea), we also bombed Cambodia for really no reason other than we wanted to maintain our influence
Gulf War - fair enough, this is for a good cause, but we stood to lose a lot if we didn't enter, and it was pretty much a clean-up. they never stood a chance.
"We struck down laws for moral reasons"
never mind that we were one of the last countries to prohibit slavery or grant women suffrage or end racial segregation.
"We waged wars on poverty"
yeah. sure. the only era I can recall where we made moves to end poverty is the Great Depression. I suppose we also attacked trusts and corporations 1890s - early 1900s, but this is a really short period of time, and not really about poverty but about fairness.
i guess this video is a force for good but it's sort of preaching to the crowd. the same people commenting about how true it is are the ones getting butthurt when foreigners say negative things about america.
