Pfffft...big talk from a country that had a pact/treaty/alliance/whatever with the Third Reich. You can be proud...you are right in there with the Soviet Union who also had a pact/treaty/alliance/agreement with Germany.
And before you re-write history, the US did NOT lose the war in Viet Nam. That war was lost AFTER the US had withdrawn. Prior to that time, the US had NOT lost a battle in Viet Nam and the Communists were in full retreat on every front.
If the anti-war peaceniks and Liberals and Liberal media in the US hadn't stabbed the troops in the back, and the government had taken the restraints off the military to use any and all means necessary to win the war, it would have all been over VERY quickly. A few strategically-placed tactical nukes and pappa Ho would have been at the bargaining table in a flash.
I never said the US never did anything wrong. I do not agree with the war in Iraq or the way it was started (the US Congress abdicated their responsibility to declare war with Iraq,and instead just gave the President the "Okey-Doke" to do whatever he pleases). The US has ALWAYS waited until an act of aggression is made against it before going to war. 9/11 was that act of aggression. But the Iraq war has gotten mixed up with agreements made with the worthless UN, and that's why we are over there now. Becasue Iraq violated agreements that were made with the UN with full knowledge that there would be consequences. Of course, the UN is composed of wishy-washy politicains and leftover Communist countries that have reasons to NOT go to war. Just like the appeasement stuff that went on with Chamberlain prior to WW2. Personally, I wish the US would take that Chavez a-hole's advice and kick the UN OUT of the US. Then get the US OUT of the UN. Let them go to Venezuela. It's a worthless organization anyway.
Were the A-Bombs in Japan justified? Damn straight they were. How many Finnish troops would have died to take Japan? NONE. But it was believed, and justly so based on previous engagements, that the Japanese would fight to the death to protect their country. The nukes most likely saved more Japanese lives than they took. They certainly saved a lot of soldier's lives on BOTH sides.
