America is the best country in the world, if its in our best interest to take over countries than we should!
Everyone knows the only way for america to prolonge their reign as the worlds super power is to teach china a lesson like they did to russia. If they dont then china will be to powerful to stop.
I support my country and my troopsss!!! KICK THERE ASS AMERICA!
I guarantee you that if anyone invades us we have over 150 million citizens armed with more than WW2 weaponry, a strong state police force, local police, reservists out the wazoo and a nuclear stockpile that would level China to burnt cinder before it could say "I would like to order a General Tso's Chicken Dish #18". We all know that things are rotten in Washington but seriously don't give the dirtbag posters from other nations more ammo.

Just Kidding, I'm nolonger a soldier, but even as a soldier my first choice was not war, I'd rather sit in a bar in Frankfurt, Germany with nice young German chic sitting on my lap than go to war. But please believe I am willing and ready to defend my faith, my loved ones, myself, then my country by any means neccasary

Live in an impoverished nation that is oppressed and you have to worry every night if soldiers will come and storm your home to take your mother, wife and daughter away to be raped. Once you understand the true nature of mandkind, the savagery and horrid evil that can take place maybe then you will understand what patriotism means. You will bow down on your knees and thank God for a nation like the United States. I am tired of people who have never served in combat nor lived abroad to see the global atrocities and then stand back ready to insult patriotism when it was patriotism that has given not just America, but also indirectly a lot of the world its freedoms.

No offense but your countries actions do suggest differently. There is clearly a pattern of destruction that accompanies the US political system. If your words were to be true wouldn't we have seen an uprising somewhere during the 60's?
Originally posted by no special charactersHiding behind a corrupt government is the easiest way to not take the blame for all these innocent lives that were destroyed by your country.
Originally posted by no special charactersYou do understand that not voting for example still makes you responsible for these crimes ?
*as a last note I see the good intentions in your post don't get me wrong but the above is what 99% of the non-US ATS'ers will probably.

America is not perfect, and China is also a nation that is not perfect. I see no need to plead to them. We support them. Without us buying from them and paying off our debts what would happen to them? They can't feed their own people now without buying massive amounts of food from us. Trust me, they don't have all the cards.. Please don't discount our military either.
You don't speak for me, and I will be danged if I am going to plead to anyone - ever!

Please... begging for peace from a country renown for it's abuses against it's own citizenry is an act of cowardice. I'm all for a strict foreign policy vis a vis MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS. Standing up to that which you fear and despise is patriotic, even if the majority disagrees. Change comes from within. You are correct, one person is but a grain of sand on the mountain, but it's OUR MOUNTAIN that needs moving, not China, not Iraq, not India, not Russia.
I'll give you that mistakes have been made, fear got the better of us. Blindness, bitterness and complacency are common place. But if you truly want to effect change and show the world that WE are not our government... then change OUR minds not the worlds.
