Simply put, America didn't enter WWI until 1917.
By time time we landed in '44 the German Army had been beaten down for five long years by the British and Russians with many of their top generals, veteran soliders and ace pilots already lost. With the help of the Canadians we beat the 2nd and 12th SS Panzer Divisons fair and square at Normandy but suffered heavy losses there and the ensuing battles.
Without a doubt we played major roles, but to take all the credit would be naive and an insult to the tens of thousands of our allies who fought and died for the freedom we take for granted today.
True it sent its sons to war, nobody denies it and nobody is bashing the american people itself.bradd80 said:You guys can accuse the U.S. of being a bully for wanting to remove bloodthirsty tyrants who gas their own people all you want, but for all of America's evils if it weren't for that country every single person on this thread would be starving to death in either a German concentration camp or a Siberian gulag.
Instead, you guys sit behind your keyboards safe and sound, and enjoy the freedom of being able to criticize the very country that sent its sons to fight and die just so you can enjoy the privilege of talking sh*t about it.
Great post bradd80. Pretty good ownage here, Who Dares Win and backseatjuan need to step away from the keyboard and dust their asses off. If there's one area where you shouldn't f*ck with a lawyer, it is history. My roommate in college was a pre-law and damn near all his classes were history it seemed.bradd80 said:No country is perfect, and I agree the U.S. has its share of problems.
No it's not a coincidence, I think there is a very good reason why U.S. allies are considered free, but I think my reasons for why are very different from yours. The American ideals of democracy and electing officials chosen by majority vote may not be a perfect system of government, but it is the preferable form of government by the majority of the world, and for good reason might I add.
Actually Who Dares, the current president of Libya is Ali Zeidan, a former human rights lawyer from Geneva who has been described by the media as a "strong minded liberal." He's as far from the idea of an extremist muslim terrorist as you can possibly get.
No country was ever given its freedom on a silver platter. Like every other nation on earth, Afghanistan and Syria will have to fight for its freedom, and yes some innocent people will die. But such is the high price of freedom.
The Japanese slaughtered 25 million Chinese in their attempt to forcibly conquer East Asia. They led an aggressive military campaign and attacked the United States first. The Japanese people supported its military with blind fanaticism, and they didn't even try to topple their warmongering military leadership. Hopefully that was the world's last fullscale total war, but those deaths were necessary in order to stop even more millions from being needlessly killed.
The U.S. should be able to do whatever it thinks is necessary in order to protect its interests and the interests of its citizens.
No, I don't think it's ok for a government to kill its own citizens without a trial, can you give me widespread examples of the U.S. doing this? And I don't mean isolated cases where mistakes were admittedly made. And yes, spying on its citizens may sometimes be necessary in the interest of national security. Do you think it's abhorrent for courts to allow the police to tap the phones of those suspected of murdering people and trafficking heroin? And spying on both enemies and allies is not an American invention, it's been done for centuries by every nation. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Any country that does not spy on both its friends and its opponents is exhibiting incredibly naive behavior.
Yes, Hitler was a bad guy. At least in the opinions of the Americans (as well as most of the other countries of the world). The bankers would not have ruined Germany if Germany had not gotten all arrogant under Willem II and Adolf and started thinking they could take on the entire world and still win. They ended up getting what they asked for and deserved.
The "American" notions of freedom and equality that you are referencing are actually creations of Britain and France - perhaps you should be more angry at them than the U.S. Your anger is misplaced. The U.S. did not force its ideas on Germany; the German people elected German politicians who made these laws for them. The U.S. did not make these laws, instead you should blame the German legislators who were elected by German citizens.
Acceptance of homosexuality is not just a U.S. problem, but a global one.
Who Dares Win, my personal opinion....is IN GENERAL, all your petty insults aside, the U.S. has tried to do what they felt was right and just, #1 for its citizens. Are there bad apples? Sure, there always are. But for the most part part, we've tried to play peace maker throughout the world and tried to help people and in some cases, it was viewed as 'none of our business'. Vietnam, Somalia, Syria, etc. And those events stirred up as much controversy in the states as they did the rest of the world. #2, yes, some wars like Iraq were about oil and money. But it was mostly about stabilizing that area and not putting money in the hands of people like Bin Laden, who's entire existence centers around killing people. This is as simple as I can make it.Who Dares Win said:DISCLAIMER both for Brad(which I believe altough in disagreement got my point) and Speed dawg(which probably treats politics as a football match and probably has a flag on his sofa), I dont hate americans as much as I dont think Backseat juad does, the problem I have is with those who run your country and how their actions affect my life and the ones of other innocents.
I have nothing against BillyBob from Indiana as much as I dont have anything against Burt from Texas or others like them, I have problems with the rich bankers which run your country and not only are making your life worse than your fathers ones but while chasing their desire for power are doing the same to mine and other innocents around the world.
That cancer know as political correctness is a peculiarity which exists only in that side of the world which was under american culture influence, which as you know means Us and western Europe (following the division which happened post WWII).
Again the use of economical hidden warfare to influence sovereign states is something I dont particularly like as much as political blackmail in order to push decisions on other sovereign nations when the population of such nations already made clear what they expect.
Again Im not talking about the average american which I can only blame for being ignorant or lazy to care about politics but surely not for being worse than me or others.
Sure I could be wrong but just a question, if the US are at the top of the list when it comes of hated nations in this world there must be a reason or it just happens out of "envy" ?
Regarding that thing about the gov being able to kill his own citizens without a trial, there is thread in this section with all the explanations from guys from the Us, its not my discovery.
Nobody here cares about the fact that a war has been started because of weapons of mass destruction only to find out that after destroying and destabilize that country none of that was found?
Can you imagine the police rushing in your house, killing your dogs and beating your family while looking for drug the after not finding any just leave without even say sorry? Is that really fine for you?
I mean if a guy doesnt like you it could be his problem but if the whole town does, theres must be something bigger behind.
Its not a d1ck measuring contest about whos more cool behind his flag, its a matter of whats fair and whats not.
One last thing, Russia made pretty clear that they aint taking it anymore with all the conseguences for us all...westerns and easterns.
Not surprised that you jumped in an America-hating thread on the anti-American side. I truly think that leftist faggots like you don't really have an established mission statement that you're passionate about. That at least could be respected. You just like to challenge the established order in the most passive aggressive way possible. And funny enough, the U.S. is probably one of the few countries on the planet that would NOT persecute effeminate homo-loving traitors like yourself. And this is how it is repaid?Jaylan said:Oh goodie. World War champs.
Do we get a shiny gold wrestling belt to put around our waist? Why are you guys even toasting in this roll bread?
Lmao @ how you got anti-American out of me making a wrestling joke at the obvious trolling OP?

No good deed goes unpunished, eh?
......and they are getting paid well to do it.Fatal Jay said:Lol@defending America, when all the young guys in the army are fighting for the bankers and rich guys investment and resources.
So nothing wrong in guys like black water right? I mean after all the bankers are paying well them, its no draft, being a mercenary is cool...speed dawg said:......and they are getting paid well to do it.
There is no military draft right now.
Next anti-American post.....
I meant that the military is getting paid well. Very good perks and benefits to be in the military in this day and age.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:America= Bankers now? What happened to the free market?
Something like:PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Yes, paid to serve the bankers with our money
Yes I am jealous of my military friends who get to be retired by age 45, have medical etc. But I think the $ is dependent on rank.speed dawg said:I meant that the military is getting paid well. Very good perks and benefits to be in the military in this day and age.
