When was the last war declared by Congress? Not Iraq. Not Afghanistan. Not Vietnam, and not Korea. What was that you were saying again?

we are the best military in the world because we train to be. that's what the military is, training. training so when you go to war you do your job and you do it well so you don't go home in a black plastic bag. so just because we do our job with efficiency as trained to do, doesn't make us bad guys.
If we are the best military why have we lost our last 3 "wars", and getting ready to lose a fourth?


not everything the military does is right, or wrong. war is some nasty sh!t. bad things happen. sometimes in war there are preemptive attacks. that's the way it's been for thousands of years. some will agree, some won't and some will change their minds.
I'm afraid you are incorrect. Everything anyone does is either "right", or "wrong". It's just a matter of perspective as to which.


whether they had weapons of mass destruction in iraq or not, it was the iraqi people that toppled the statues of saddam. we defend the freedoms of others as well. do we do it for our own best interests? almost always i'm sure. that's another debate too.
Wrong again. That little show was a setup. Was that an Iraqi tank involved?
