My father was drafted in Vietnam and let me tell you, if you think you're "free" in America, wait until you're forced to go off to a war you completely disagree with and want no part in and are forced to kill people and otherwise do things you never thought (and shouldn't know) you were capable of, just to survive.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 1/16/2015 12:05:21 AMThe Vietnam war was a political shit pool, in my opinion, and we should have never entered it. Embarrassing part of US history.
-
That's true of every war we've been in
-
While yes world war 1, I feel like the initiative to get into world war 2 was a just cause.
-
It seemed that way because of propaganda. But the true intentions behind all the wars we were in during the 20th Century were the rich banking families and CEOs making billions off of war industry.

Thank f#ck great to see an actual educated comment
-
I know you don't feel like typing it so could you give me a link explaining this? I believe you I just want to educate myself
-
You're right. We never should have tried to separate from Britain.
-
We were actually in good hands with Britain, it was just the rich colonists that wanted out. The colonies had way lower taxes than British citizens did.

*Basically every 19th-21st Century war
-
So after Japan bombed us we should have just bent over and taken it? And ignored Hitler in Europe? Yea, that would have ended well lemme tell ya.
-
Japan only bombed us because our government let them. Every propaganda excuse the government has given to get us into a war has been premeditated. Don't listen to what your high school history books told you, it's all bullshit.
-
Srsly? How do you know all this? I'm not saying your wrong, but explain your sources and more details because it sounds like a bunch of conspiracy theory bullshit to me.

When the Allies captured the SS command buildings in Berlin, they found detailed invasion plans for the US. Don't fool yourself, Hitler wasn't done if he had conquered all of Europe.
-
Yeah, he was planning on allying with Mexico to conquer the US.
-
Even if you're right, if they had stopped the bombing it would have involved military action that would have brought the US into the war anyway. (Also, you neglected to explain away the fact that if the US hadn't interfered in WW2 there is a good chance Hitler never would have been stopped.)

War sucks, and it's all to aid in someone's financial or economical gain, driven by power and greed, as it always has been. .
