Yeah, forget it, let's just start like five wars. That'll show them who's boss
oh yeah sure why not I mean we haven't had a good reason to start any war everrrrrrrr
cough vietnam
You're comparing apples to oranges. In Vietnam the Vietcong had already been fighting the South Vietnamese before we arrived. It was also a bitch to get most of our equipment (helis, trucks, etc.) through the dense jungles of Laos and Cambodia. Had there been no trees we would have steamrolled them. Want to know why? At the time of the Gulf War, Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world, and we
raped them. We lost 149 men, they lost about 22,000.
But let's attack this from a different angle and pull up the Golden Arches theory; that is, two democratic capitalist nations will never go to war with each other. In addition to building a better Iraqi military, Bush thought that stationing troops in post-war Iraq would also transition the country into one of these prosperous capitalist democracies, like it has for every other enemy we've defeated
ever. And I know what you guys will say; the culture just wasn't suitable for it. If that's the case, then why not just let the Islamists do whatever they want to the gays and women in those countries with said culture? Pretty hypocritical.
