Quote by: rdnor And they (the enemy) are dying in ever inreasing numbers . DOOD ! |
EVERYONE'S dying in ever increasing numbers.
In Vietnam, we lost around 54,000 troops. The North Vietnamese and VietCong lost around 1.2 MILLION dead. In Afghanistan, the Soviets lost about 15,000 troops. The Afghanis lost another million.
They didn't care. All they cared about was killing Americans and Soviets day in and day out for as long as it took for them to eventually give up. That's why they're called 'Wars of Attrition'.
Iraqis on all sides are dying by the thousands. They don't care, just as long as Americans keep dying day in and day out until the day we realise we can't win and decide to leave.

Quote by: rmnunez But yes, better in that desert than in Dallas, or at least one would expect united statians, Texans and people from Dallas to think this way. |
Yeah, except the chance of anyone in Dallas or anywhere else in the U.S. being attacked by crazed Iraqis was always pretty marginal. :rolleyes:

Well okay then. I guess that makes a bad war, started by mistake, that we can't win, all right.

Quote by: rdnor these men had the guts to do a job that most of you would not do under any circumstances. Brave men they were |
All the more tragic they have to perform their duty in the name of such a tragicly flawed and irresponsible policy.

Quote by: rdnor No . Nevel Chamberlain thought Hitler would stop like he had promised . Imagine Herr Hitler telling a lie. |
The difference being, Hitler actually invaded Czekoslovakia. Then Poland, at which point Chamberlain declared war.
Iraq, on the other hand, was not attacking anyone, not mobilizing to attack anyone and not threatening to attack anyone, had no military to speak of and no weapons programs.
