I don't know where the first 9 are. carp Nope-me neither. No accounting for the innumerancy found on the web. Oops-did I just set myself up for more of Daves venom against those who had the privilege of a better education than the holier than thou class struggle anarchists for whom illiteracy and innumerancy is a virtue ? Oooooooo-I'm scared. Lol H Subject: US Military History US Military Prowess Revisited By Anonymous From the Net | February 10, 2003 Nearly 6 billion of human being may be upset that the US are warmongering for dubious reasons, but out here at the terrace of a café, there is nothing but jubilation at their attitude. Last thing we need to fear is to have the US actually winning a war. A cursory review of US military history reveals the following: 10 - American Revolution - Totally unable to fight a handful of English soldiers, they need French help to eventually deserve their independence. 11 - 1812 war against British Empire, lost as France can't help them.. 12 - Indian wars : mostly won due to an outstanding ability to bully peoples ten times less numerous and less advanced technologically, even succeed in losing some magistral battles like Wounded Knee 13 - Civil war - the North even though ten times more numerous and more industrial hardly saves the day. Decide the Us to go on fighting weaker neighbours like Mexico in order to have a chance of winning. 14 - War against Spain 1898 : won, the target is carefully chosen for his inability to defend itself, a nice plot built to start the war without any real cause except pure imperialism and envy. 15 - World War I - Decide to join when most of the effort has already been done by France and Britain. Send troops that have to be equipped with European equipment, like French planes cause they do not know how to build them. Eventually deserve a share in the final win but decide to sabotage the subsequent peace initiative of the Nations' Society. 16 - World War II - Once again has to be forced to join. Begin to lose every battles against Japan, and Germany. Eventually reaches their natural standard of 10-1. After letting the Soviet Union cripples the Wehrmacht, eventually decide to get really involved along with hundreds of thousands of British, Poles, French and many others. Nice teamwork. Cannot finish Japan without nuking two cities. 17 - Korean war = draw, MacArthur not being allowed to nuke China and North Korea. Yet another war fought with numerous allies. 18 - Vietnam : Lost, the French had told them not to get involved in this mess, they thought they were smarter. They should have listened. 19 - Grenada : won, at least, one good fight 1230-1 did it actually. 20 - first Gulf War : incredible draw, had the whole earth as allies, the classical "win ratio", got the tickets, catering et al paid by the whole world and eventually let Saddam in place and with free hands to gas Kurdish and Shiit rebels. 21 - Somalia : lost, no need to say more 22 - War on Terrorism - Lost. One cannot win a war against a common noun such as 'poverty', 'drug' or 'terrorism'. Unable to get Bin Laden, decide to strike against Irak, at least they should win this time... The moral of the story is - give thanks to God on high that the US stops going to war!
