Europe VS US
All these types of threads do is raise animosity.
First off, it will bring out the disproportionate amount of teenagers who have access to computers here in the US doing their pubescent chest pounding
rhetoric. Second it would be followed up by naive attacks on the US about Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan etc.
Anything said pro US would be seen as a Arrogant chest pounding statement.
Many have brought up Vietnam. Dont they mean
French Indochina? That culminated in
the humiliating defeat of the French at the
Battle of Dien Bien Phu and it's later
surrender and retreat. Let's all forget those little FACTS.
Vietnam
US: 0
Europe: 0
Let's move onto Iraq. We have a planned Retreat I mean Surrender oops sorry a
Planned Withdrawal in
2011Iraq and the United States have finally agreed on a security pact which would mean that US forces would withdraw from Iraq by 2011,
American and Iraqi officials said yesterday.
Shall we discuss Afghanistan? How far back does those who point fingers at the US memories go back?
British Empire and Afghanistan.
As far as soldiers with experience. a
conscripted military force does not have the same will to fight as an all voluntary force.

A fight across the pond would come down to Navies. Firstly, the US has the advantage there hands down. Second, it would be the ability to reach around
the world and touch somebody with bombers. Again in US favor. Third, Land invasion would have to go to the US again becuase of the US Navy and the
capabilities of the US Marines amphibious abilities.
On the Flip side, The EU seems lacking in their ability to match the US's capabilities at the present time. This however doesn't mean it's not
within their power to create such forces. Lastly although Europe has a larger population an invasion force from Europe would have to first fight it's
way past our military then secondly deal with the most armed population on the planet.
The only way to win this scenario
Is not to play.
