We wouldn't have won WWII if we didn't have those allies!
We couldn't conquer the muslim nations today that are you are talking about without them either. That's the point! DUH!

Of course you are right. The USA does not have the power to defeat a bunch of third world nations. The USA is at their mercy. We will allow them to attack us at will. We are helpless. I am making arrangements at the local Mosque today to become a Muslim. Allah be praised.

"Wrong. When the Second World War ended we had sixteen million people in uniform."
We did not have 16 million American men in combat when WWII ended!

You are correct...and your prize is...

"FYI I am fully aware what percentage of forces are support and what are combatants. I spent 12 years in the Army. FYI it is approximately 90% support and 10% combatants."
Thank you for proving my point! 10% of 16 million is 1.6 million.
And that was cumulative..not final tally!

Final tally...16 million people in uniform when the Second World War ended.

And we did not occupy FRANCE, BELGIUM, NETHERLANDS, ITALY that we fought in! The "natives" took full control. And in the end..we only occupied 1/4th of the nation of Germany.
|
Thank you for the information...but I am fully aware of what countries we occupied and did not occupy.

Again, totally different from going it solo against the rest of the Islamic nations!

You are correct. It would be a much, much easier task.

"Wrong. There was not a military loss in Vietnam and we could have ended the war in one day with the use of Nukes, within thirty days with 24/7 conventional bombing (11 days of 24/7 brought them to the peace table), within ninety days with ground forces if the military would have been allowed to invade the North."
Thank you for showing me and the world that you should NEVER be in a command role in the military or politics!
WE SHOULD HAVE USED NUKES IN VIETNAM? You seemed like a fairly reasonable person until you posted that! How utterly INSANE!
|
Where did I say we should have used Nukes in Vietnam?
FYI nukes were considered for use in Korea, Nukes were considered for use in Vietnam, and Nukes were considered for use in the '91 conflict with Iraq and they are on the table for use in this current conflict if we were to need them.

And as for the rest of your war plan for Vietnam..MAN..why didn't the combined military genius over a 10 year period come up with the same solution you just did in 30 secs? You obviously have much more military intelligence and expertise on that time period readily available on your computer than the combined military/political establishment had combined!

The military did. The politicians micro managed the war for political reasons, but I have already explained this to you. Consider yourself as having been educated. You can thank me later.
