so far the answers for mainiating this massive military and continuing to drain our wealth into it is:
mexican drug lords, iran, and north korea
you have to be fucking kidding
if anyone with some geo-political sense would answer they would have already thrown out Russia taking alaska. becuase of geography and oil. that is the only legitimate answer. you boys need to brush up your skills, as oppsoed to blindly supporting shit you dont even understand
yes mexican drug lords. there practically is a war going on in northern mexico right now. but I do not see them taking over the country as being realistic. but mexico is known for being extremely corrupt and dysfunctional, so anything is possible.
again and again, I am talking hypothetically when it comes to a country invading us. with no defense, there is nothing to stop a country from doing so. and for some reason, you keep searching for an answer, "why would they do that?" stop thinking you are going to get an acceptable answer here. there are none. here's a reason. because they can. (if we had no military)
we are obviously protected by 2 oceans. invading us is not an option.
a military however prevents and discourages a country from attacking us. and again, we do not need be be so far ahead of other countries. and we do not need to be involved so much in other countries.

again, get off your fucking high horse mr average joe. people are allowed opinions other then your own.
ww1 was completely unnecassary, especially our involvement, and the US government had to lie to the public to get support, and they eliminated free speech with the sedition act and jailed anyone that spoke out against the war
ww2: was caused by the german, japansese, and italian oublic who bought their leaders lies, beleived they need to dominate militarily, and bought hook line and sinker the fear propaganda, thinking that enemies were lurking adn were an immenent threat. when in reality they were the fucking threat (sound familiar)
so to the original poster (not you jlew) out down the US military history for a second and take a look at world history
as far as being weak and soldiers dying, i think that is pretty weak? very weak to support this fucking killing machine we have funded and applauded the whole way like cheerleaders
ww1 was completely unnecassary, especially our involvement, and the US government had to lie to the public to get support, and they eliminated free speech with the sedition act and jailed anyone that spoke out against the war
so this war and our involvement in this war was unnecessary because you say so? well damn why didnt you say so ? you could have saved 9 million lives.
ww2: was caused by the german, japansese, and italian oublic who bought their leaders lies, beleived they need to dominate militarily, and bought hook line and sinker the fear propaganda, thinking that enemies were lurking adn were an immenent threat. when in reality they were the fucking threat (sound familiar)
this makes no sense. you also forget to mention we were attacked by a foreign military because we were unprepared. which is what the poster was proving.
again, get off your fucking high horse mr average joe. people are allowed opinions other then your own.
sure they are. but i think they would be able to back them up when they trach my opinion. the thing is most around here sate shit they beleive, and they have no idea why they believe it, or they have little to back it up. i a mlooking for real discussion here. i wish someone could change my mind why we need this global military. this shit isnt a movie. the missiles are real. and the targets are real. and the guy at the desk right now sitting 12 inches from that button is real. too real.
so that is the 2nd time you have said to get off my high horse for stating my opinion. you see the obvious hipocricy.
i stated my opinion, you disputed it, i asked you to back it up, and have failed to do so. that is called discusion and debate. i am not mad at you brother. i am not upset? and i support your right to your own opinion. but i think your opinion is real fucking dangerous. we have 300 million americans walking around thinking it is a great idea to have this massive military with 10,000 nuclear weapons so they can feel safe sitting in their chicago suburbian neighborhood where all the fences match and pooper scoopers are required. i think they are pussies. i think they have been lied to. i think they suck it up like cold water on a hot day. and i think they have nothing at all to back it up. and i think this is real fucking dangerous, for the entire planet and civilization. they see the littering of ther planet with weapons good for peace and security. i see the obvious flaw, and threar posed, by this kind of thinking. call it what you want, but i believe i am on the right side of history.
and like i said beofre. i dont take any of this personally. i like political discussion and this is a cool place to do that. thats why we are both here. i support you right to an opinion, and i am willing to fight for that right for you,and i dont judge you for views. unfortunately most have the same view as you. i am sure your a good guy, just like 99% of the folks around here, no matter which side of the fence. i dont walk around arguing with people. i drink, i some, i lugh and have a good time.just like you. i dont live in a commune or drive a VW bus.
Funny how you talk as if you're some expert on geopolitical affairs, and continue to ignore reality. In post #9 you talk about man's nature. I completely disagree with your premise. You build your philosophy on the notion that man is inherently peace-loving. I (and other "armchair generals") build our philosophy on the notion that we have always, and will always see groups and nations struggling for power over one another.
You are welcome to your pipe dream. I would hate to disabuse you of that belief. But just because you choose to ignore millenia of data to the contrary and think we don't need to defend ourselves, doesn't mean the rest of us are obligated to do so.

so this war and our involvement in this war was unnecessary because you say so? well damn why didnt you say so ? you could have saved 9 million lives.
many scholars have the same opinion. what was ww1 about? and was it on US soil? nice try.
this makes no sense. you also forget to mention we were attacked by a foreign military because we were unprepared. which is what the poster was proving.
um, pearl harbor was a naval yard armed to the teeth.
I have several times. and you respond with "will you answer my question? " or "you dont know shit"...its like debating with a brick wall
whatever. go ahead and quote those answers for me. we are talking about maintaining a $1 trillion a year military, not a coast gaurd or national gaurd.
whatever. go ahead and quote those answers for me. we are talking about maintaining a $1 trillion a year military, not a coast gaurd or national gaurd.
its nice to make up numbers? currently spending will be around 650 billion which is because we are currently fighting 2 wars. when we leave Iraq, spending will drop. just as it has after all other wars.

feel free to have that opinion.
America has been attacked once, a naval base thousands of miles off the mainland during one of the largest war's in human history. thats your millenia of data in a nutshell. we are not a struggling african country. we are not threatened by any nation.
feel free to litter this beautiful planet with disgusting nuclear weapons for your children to play with. and i will continue towards my "pipe dream"
its nice to make up numbers? currently spending will be around 650 billion which is because we are currently fighting 2 wars. when we leave Iraq, spending will drop. just as it has after all other wars.
i will site later where i got that #. it includes CIA, NASA, etc funding that is actually military spending. unfortuntelt i gotta run.
you dotn think NASA is just trying to get to the moon to play golf do you :rolleyes:
great, I'm sure those same scholars, and the scholar that you are, will say all wars are unnecessary, nice try.
i am no scholar. i posed a question, and i dont htink it has been answered yet. i am begging someone to change my mind and show me why this is all neccessary
but yet we were attacked and nearly destroyed. its called being unprepared.
who was nearly destroyed? the naval base or the country?
the last war fough on our soil was between ourselves...

ALL of it is not necessary. but we are one of the largest countries in the world with alot to protect. since you like to ask a lot of questions. what do you think a acceptable amount of spending would be?
so far the answers for mainiating this massive military and continuing to drain our wealth into it is:
mexican drug lords, iran, and north korea
you have to be fucking kidding
if anyone with some geo-political sense would answer they would have already thrown out Russia taking alaska. becuase of geography and oil. that is the only legitimate answer. you boys need to brush up your skills, as oppsoed to blindly supporting shit you dont even understand
Skills? Insulting and degrading people is all of a sudden a measurable skill? In that case, you my friend, have MAD SKILLS!
So this was just one big quiz where you asked a question to which you already had an answer in mind, and because nobody answered "correctly" you're the only one with geo-political sense?
You must work for the media. You took less than one line from my post and twisted that to appear as if I said these are THE threats. Please read the posts, don't just look at the words. What I said in a nutshell, was that they are POTENTIAL THREATS AND IF THEY UNITE, THERE COULD BE TROUBLE AND IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO BE PREPARED. You ask how that could happen? Answer this: how could four planes be hijacked and get flown all over the North East for 45 minutes and then crash into three buildings? It's not a question of how. The how doesn't matter. It's the IF. So rather than claiming that people have no geo-political sense, how about using some common sense yourself and use your brain instead of your emotions to get your point across.
To me, the bottom line is that the US had pissed off a lot of countries. Those countries are angry and they hate the USA. If they could attack the US they would. One of the reasons they don't (aside from the fact that they can't) is that they know they'll get their asses kicked. As soon the US cuts back on it's "insurance policy," it's all over.

Your shit is week son.
I was not talking about what caused WWI and WWII. I was talking about the condition of our military at the beginning of those wars. At the beginning of both of those conflicts we had a small poorly funded poorly equiped military.
Currently there is not a nation with a military to threaten to the US. But that is currently. Stuff can change pretty fast. Look at history. How long did it take Hitler to build his war machine.
Further back how long did it take Spain to become the world power and look at how short there time at the top lasted. How long did it Napoleon to build an Army that took over most of Europe.
What makes you think that in 10 to 15 years there will not be another power to threaten the US. Our technology edge is quickly fading. And there are a lot of short sited wishfull thinkers like you that think if we can just get ride of the Army war will go away.
I am telling you by the year 2020 there will be a military power equal to or greater than ours. Some of you probable like that, but knowing history it scares me.

I have no clue why people post lyrics to songs. and song breaks or whatever. kind of annoys me actually.
Bite me.
Lyrics can often express an emotion or thought better than or perhaps more artistically than we could ourselves. Why would you get annoyed because someone chose to express themselves differently than yourself. I love sharing a nicely written piece of music with people...it doesn't bother me in the least that you choose not to, however.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

So this was just one big quiz where you asked a question to which you already had an answer in mind, and because nobody answered "correctly" you're the only one with geo-political sense?
You must work for the media. You took less than one line from my post and twisted that to appear as if I said these are THE threats. Please read the posts, don't just look at the words. What I said in a nutshell, was that they are POTENTIAL THREATS AND IF THEY UNITE, THERE COULD BE TROUBLE AND IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO BE PREPARED. You ask how that could happen? Answer this: how could four planes be hijacked and get flown all over the North East for 45 minutes and then crash into three buildings? It's not a question of how. The how doesn't matter. It's the IF. So rather than claiming that people have no geo-political sense, how about using some common sense yourself and use your brain instead of your emotions to get your point across.
To me, the bottom line is that the US had pissed off a lot of countries. Those countries are angry and they hate the USA. If they could attack the US they would. One of the reasons they don't (aside from the fact that they can't) is that they know they'll get their asses kicked. As soon the US cuts back on it's "insurance policy," it's all over.
You are not the only person who's entitled to an opinion, and bullying other posters doesn't make your opinion any more valid.
Chill out, man, it's Friday.

You are not how much money you have in the bank.

You are not your fucking khakis.
Your shit is week son.
I was not talking about what caused WWI and WWII. I was talking about the condition of our military at the beginning of those wars. At the beginning of both of those conflicts we had a small poorly funded poorly equiped military.
Currently there is not a nation with a military to threaten to the US. But that is currently. Stuff can change pretty fast. Look at history. How long did it take Hitler to build his war machine.
Further back how long did it take Spain to become the world power and look at how short there time at the top lasted. How long did it Napoleon to build an Army that took over most of Europe.
What makes you think that in 10 to 15 years there will not be another power to threaten the US. Our technology edge is quickly fading. And there are a lot of short sited wishfull thinkers like you that think if we can just get ride of the Army war will go away.
I am telling you by the year 2020 there will be a military power equal to or greater than ours. Some of you probable like that, but knowing history it scares me.
A stitch in time saves nine.

Shit, that was my 50th post! Oh well, at least it's got my trademark stupid sense of humour all over it.
Good bye "Ghost" tag!

Don't start that shit. It's pretty obvious that's not even what he was using those lyrics for.
Bite me.
Lyrics can often express an emotion or thought better than or perhaps more artistically than we could ourselves. Why would you get annoyed because someone chose to express themselves differently than yourself. I love sharing a nicely written piece of music with people...it doesn't bother me in the least that you choose not to, however.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
