Hey! Dummy! Australian troops were in Vietnam too! Did they "run away" with their tails between THEIR legs?
So was South Korea - and I can tell you - they never ran from anybody. Since they didn't follow the same rules of engagement, and used rather
effective interrogation techniques, the NVA were terrified of the ROKS.
Let me point this FACT out again. American combat forces, all 1,500 of them, left Vietnam in June and July of 1972 - right after slaughtering 100,000
invading North Vietnamese.
We left in 1972.
South Vietnam fell in 1975.
Can you do A-R-I-T-H-M-E-T-I-C? You know, basic calculations?
If you'll fly over Afghanistan, you'll see plenty of houses standing.
The ones that were dusted were those where combatants ran into and took shelter in, and were usually returning fire.
Wishing for a perfect world, old man, doesn't work.
The number of children killed BY AMERICANS is not in the hundreds of thousands. The military attack on Iraq by American and British forces was over
in weeks, and the casualties of civilians was particularly light.
In fact, Iraqi military casualties was light, as many shucked their uniforms and blended with the population.
Most Iraqi's are and were killed by other Iraqi's.
You see, they have this religious civil war that's been going on since Muhammed died. The civil war is what's killing folks. Saddam knew how to
keep the violence down - by slaughter. Hey, it worked!
Suddenly freed of the heavy hand of Saddam, the Iraqi's decided to settle some old scores. And did they ever.
But don't let any facts get in your way. You certainly haven't so far.
One would think that an engineer would be capable of critical thinking. Analysis. Fact finding.
Based on your working knowledge of the subject, your approach to the research, and your really crappy attitude, as an engineer, you must have been a
suppository designer.
That would certainly explain your attitude AND your view.
No soldier finds glory in "blasting" women and children. To suggest so is to be one dishonest, lying, twisted, bitter old man.
Yeah. Let's just blame everything on this nebulous, integrated, vaporous, loosely connected, and yet incapable NWO.
The final sanctuary of ignorance.
