Quote by: Apeman81 How many US soldiers died during the Occupation of Germany following WWII?
Did the German "wolf packs" speak for all of Germany as they "fought for freedom" from the "Imperialist Americans" to secure the "ways of their people"?
This one general disagrees with other generals. What makes him right and the other generals wrong? You desire to believe him so.
This story is anecdotal at best. |
How many Iraqies or "terrorists" were attacking the U.S. after we first toppled Saddam's regime? Fewer in comparison to now. There truly were some celebrations in the streets after Saddam was removed from power.
Does it come as a surprise that once they realized we weren't going to leave afterwards but instead create another government in its place that the skepticism steps in? How many times have we already done this around the world only to find yet another dictator eventually runs the show? Face it. We might get some thanks for toppling a bad government but few people are going to thank us for replacing it.

bugsbunny04 What does he expect? Our Soldiers, especially those whose MOS falls between 11 and 19, are not trained as interpersonal conflict counselors. They are trained to fucking kill you.

I agree. Our military is for combat, not diplomacy or propping up foreign governments. And by that view their job has been long done. "Mission accomplished", as Bush put it. Time to head back.
