    not saying i'm proud of it and condoning massive military power. just stating what I believe to be true.

    get off your moral high horse, k.


    you are coming across as though you are a 5 year old bragging your dad could beat up the other kids dad. this shit isnt a game. if we are not careful we will lose the whole fuckign thing. peopel scoff, mostly because they are hiding their head in the sand when it comes to the current nuclear situation in the world

    and i will not get off my "high horse"... i will never sit back and watch people rah-rah military action and war like it is a game of risk. and i hate the fucking tough guy "our military" bullshit. too many fucking war movies for these wanna be tough guys.

    Honor veterans, wage peace


    and for the record, you are the one on the moral high horse... thinking the US should intervene with the military any time it feels appropriate. not to mention the high horse you have whipped throughout this thread about your precious fucking killing machine... talk about hypocricy :rolleyes:

    and again


    apparently you are a fan of MAD... Mutually Assured Destruction. china and russia could "destroy" our beautiful country in hours as well, considering they have many nuclear weapons currently targeted on our major civilian populations
    we have a missile defense system. and no emeny aircraft can get near our borders to drop a bomb. so yea, they may have nukes, but hitting us with them isnt that simple.

    on the flip side, we could bomb any country without them even knowing we were there. no bragging, just stating fact.

    the United States of America has the military capabality to destroy most, if not all of the planet. YOU REALLY THINK THAT IS SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT?
    no I dont. and again, I'm not bragging. just stating the fact that we are, by far, the most powerful military on earth .

    Seriously pull your fingers out your ears and stop going lalala i'm not listening, it's so boring now.

    America is not infallible.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    is Iran the same as fighting in a jungle? that was also 40 years ago. not to mention a little war in between then and now called the cold war. an arms race the the US won.

    I'm going out on a limb here and assume you know that the "Cold War" was not an actual war. I'm also going to slide out a little further and hope that you realize just because the Berlin wall" is gone, the Cold War didn't end. Intelligence gathering and spying is a "never ending quest". The more information a person has the more power and in control they presume they are.

    I use the word "presume" because you seem to think the U.S. won the arms race and won the Cold War, WRONG! Correct me if I'm in error, don't other countries have nuclear technology? Don't other countries have satellites orbiting the planet? Don't other countries have a space program?

    Talk about jungles, you might want to go back and see how well we did in Somalia 1992, a supposedly goddamn nation of starving people with spear sticks against Black Hawk choppers and U.S. military ground forces. Don't be so arrogant to think that people won't fight back just because we are Americans. We never got over that embarrassment, that is why we are back in Somalia now. While you're looking this information up, check out who we are supplying weapons to in an attempt to keep the appearance of our hands being clean.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    It's not about being happy, it's about all the posts you've made in this thread, which do come accross as thinking america is infallible which indeed it is not.

    Pride comes before a fall.

    ah, go old somalia. you mean when clinton pulled out the small force we had there? that was his mistake, not the military.

    I never said america is infallible so stop putting words in my mouth. what I did say is america has the most powerful military on earth and would destroy the Iranian army.

    Let's just say, the U.S. has the most powerful naval force and leave it at that.

    Saying you come across, is not putting words in your mouth.

    Learn the difference.
