Answer my question, do you honestly believe that there is any force in the world that could invade us and take away our freedom of speech or whatever the hell it is you're arguing?
Without a military? Just about anyone.
Oh really? What if everyone was armed and we had militias? I highly doubt it.
And there's a use for a military: defending the homeland, not policing the fvcking world. I don't mind having a military as long as it's purpose is to protect america, i mind having a military whose purpose seems to be 'making the world a better place'.
So we shouldn't attack terrorists outside of our borders?
Should we have stayed out of WWII in Europe since Hitler was not an immediate threat?
Tell me, what good is a citizen militia against an airforce? A nuclear threat? ICBMs?
What good is bombing and nuking a country when you eventually have to put troops down on the ground to oppress the population and strip them of their freedoms?
And i'm pro-nukes, they're an excellent deterrent for invasion.
And i'm sorry if you believe we'd be speaking german if we weren't involved in WW2
true we would not be speaking german if we did nto invade. BUT a country that is a strong alie was in trouble. part of being allies is comeing to there aid when needed.
i think its wrong that we even waited so damn long.
Maybe Europe should have thought about that when they were fcking germany in the @$$ post WW1 that led to the rise of hitler. Their problem, too bad, so sad.
Actually, it was the allies INaction that lead to Hitler. It was Germany's aggression in the first place that lead to the treaty of Versailles.
Ah well. Have fun in your little fantasy world there, Phokus. Keep on spitting in the face of those who protect your freedom.
Maybe you should study history a little bit to understand why isolationism doesn't work.
Yes, excluding Germany from the negotiations and forcing excessive reparations had nothing to do with the rise of Hitler. Nothing at all. Yup.
Maybe you should read a little history to understand why interventionism doesn't work. Just ask Britain and how they completely made the M.E. into what we're fighting today.
As for 'spitting in the face', blah blah blah. I'm sick and tired of this P.C. bvllshit when it comes to the military being the highest ideal and beyond reproach.
Germany was the aggressor and therefore responsible for millions of deaths. You don't negotiate with an aggressor. And why shouldn't Germant have paid for their aggression? The reparations post WWII were, and still are MUCH higher.
The ME/UK issue wasn't interventionism, it was colonialism. Who needs to study history?
I didn't say Germany shouldn't have paid reparations... i was criticizing the EXCESSIVE reparations. The amount they had to pay had nothing to do with repaying the damage done, it was about vengeance, especially by the French.
And redrawing the M.E's map isn't interventionism? Wow, that's news to me!
It started with colonialism in Egypt and ended with the fall of the Ottoman empire. Order had to be restored. It has nothing to do with what is happening today.
The reparations were NOT excessive. Not considering the damage done. Been reading Mein Kampf lately?
The treaty was NOT enforced as it should have been. If it had, Hitler never would have come to power.
And I'm still loving how you would have opposed entry into WWII.
