> p.s. don't get me wrong.. not bashing US.. just pointing out the facts
>FUCK YOU AND YOUR FACTS!The only reason why the US lost Vietnam is because
we as a nation was fighting a war with both hands tied behind our
back!Screw the Olympics.No one really watches them anymore.Rely on Allies
you say.Boy we sure didn't have and fucking allies when we were starting
out as a country and larger empires laughed at us.We still won our wars
without allies.And if you studied war history books very well you would
know that Iraq had the 4th largest millitary in the world then and we
whipped thier asses in a war in 2 week,no thanks to France or the United
Nations.I fear and hate people like you because its people like you that
make proud countries fall.If you don't agree with me now e-mail me and
I'll slam your ass down with REAL facts to the point where you will get
your head out of your ASS!

Now I don't agree with that Kat guy on his viewpoint, but it is a fact that
we had allies in almost all of the wars we fought...with the possible
exception of Spanish-American War and War of 1812, not sure about that
one...but see if you agree with me:

1. French and Indian---England
2. Revolution---France
3. WW I and II---of course, the Allies
4. Korean War---basically, the UN minus Soviet Union and China
5. Gulf War---again, the major powers and some Arabic countries

You could even count the Vietnam War, not significantly, because South Korea
had some units in there, although the US was a VAST majority of the fighting
force...

The thing with wars is that you never want to go it alone unless you have
to...too many uncertainties...you want to kow that there are friends out
there to bail you out if anything goes wrong, and hey, I'd rather not see
ALL of the casualties list as American soldiers, when this is all a UN
issue...if the UN wants our money and our troops, let them support us with
men of their own...American blood isnt cheaper because we are a
superpower...I believe we can go at it alone, but why should we do all the
dirty-work...
