Americans didn’t want to fight in WW1. They hated the League of Nations afterwards. FDR promised to return to normalcy from war. He campaigned on “world peace being right around the corner.” Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh were right.
Roosevelt spoke of World War I, promising those who fell in battle that "it shall not occur again. Americans demand: The crime of war shall cease" -- ironic words from the man who was to lead the nation during World War II.
“That, my friends, is proved when, as now, the Republican campaign management and people like Henry Ford and General Atterbury of the Pennsylvania Railroad are guilty of spreading the gospel of fear.
That is true when in a desperate, futile, last-minute effort to dam the tide of popular disapproval that is steadily growing against the Administration, they become alarmists and panic breeders.”
Crucial to our freedom: Secure our borders. Deport invaders on first contact. Keep our money at home-repair our own infrastructure. Fire incompetent government employees. Cut budgets. Stop hiring based on skin color.
I mean what we did get worked out comparatively well, and it might have worked out better if MacArthur had been allowed to push back into North Korea again.
Vietnam
That also worked well up until the Democrats pulled defeat from victory. The whole idea of Vietnam being a US military blunder was the work of a fake news machine that reveled in the idea of making America looks weak in favor of the USSR.
Because the point of Vietnam and all the other wars was spreading Communism. Had americans won there would have been no communist threat for the MIC to grift off of. And the fact that the MIC's masters are commies themselves.
NK and the CCP did attack SK and that was fought to a stalemate.. We can see that the difference in government is very polarized.. This could have been prevented in 1940/1945 by not helping Communist Stalin and by helping Chang Ki Shek..
Vietnam was a big mistake because it was a French colony, after all that killing and destruction the Communist threat turned out to be far less of an issue in modern Vietnam..
The Iraq war was in response to their attack on their neighbor so it could be considered similar to Korea but with a far less military threat but "winning" that war was kind of a misnomer..
All the rest listed seem to be more of a Deep State and Military Industrial Complex corruption problem with zero benefit for the USA but plenty of corruption cash for the politician criminals..
We agreed to let China do China at the end of WW2 because Russia basically threatened to consume all of Europe if we didn't.. If instead of aiding Stalin in 1940-1945 we should have let Germany take out the Russian Commies.. Once that was done we could have nuked Berlin and swept up the pieces..
Or just left Berlin alone since they would have taken care of the rest of the commies on the planet for us. There would have never got involved in that war, and especially not on the side of the commies.
By 1945 Russia was a military beast and continuing a war in Europe against them would have been a very bad place to be in.. Without our trucks, planes and supplies Russia would have fallen in 1943-1944 and Germany would have been way overextended.. We really did not get super deep into fighting Germany until we went into North Africa and had supplies, fighters and bombers in England so 1940-1943..
The Iraq war was in response to their attack on their neighbor so it could be considered similar to Korea but with a far less military threat but "winning" that war was kind of a misnomer.
The bigger mistake with Iraq was in George I's decision to invade the country but then let Saddam keep running the country after kicking his butt rather than finishing the job then and there.
Still that leaves the handful of competing factions Saddam H. kept under control with his bloody hand tactics so we would have signed on to yet another forever war.. If we trashed the place and killed him then left those factions would have kept the place the same hell hole third world killing zone it has been for 1,000 years.. If I am not mistaken leaving him in power was something the Arab League demanded or we would have been at war with most of them really making the Middle East a nightmare to get out of..
NK and the CCP did attack SK and that was fought to a stalemate
Slightly incorrect. NK attacked SK and was on the verge of winning when the UN (well US mostly) entered the war. Combined US & SK troops drove back the NK and then China joined, which lead to the stalemate.
Hardly since the NK troops had plenty of CCP and Russian advisors, specialists and equipment.. Chinese tank crew, Chinese artillery crews and Chinese/Russian pilots all took part in the North Korean invasion of the South.. The North Koreans were just the proxy army for the Chinese Communists/Russians and when we got within miles of the Yalu river then they committed the regular divisions of Chinese because their initial plan failed..
Last Christmas, my liberal boomer in-laws are over and I remark about how I don't stand with Ukraine. Blue Collar FIL says the line. "We must support Ukraine or we'll be in a war with young American men on the ground fighting other country's battles". I literally said: "How'd Vietnam work out for ya'?" and he says "well, that was different"...SMH...
I wouldn't go that far; South Korea mostly speaks for itself but to say it worked out 'pretty awesome' would require that North Korea still be part of a Communist-Free united Korea if you ask me.
To clarify, South Korea is awesome.
McArthur was right and Truman wussed out. The US has a chance to smash the CCP in the 50s, and these are the consequences.
Remember when our original independence author said
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted.
We haven't fought for our country since WW2, and every war since then fought, was not fought by Patriots, but TOOLS!
I don't care how unpopular that truth is. WW2 Vets were the last true Vets worth giving any glory to. All others helped destroy the integrity of fighting for our country.
$5 Trillion dollars..... not too shabby.
And counting
Now sent yo kids to die here plz....
n sheeeit
Stop the dual-citizenry of our "representatives and law-makers"
Any representative or law-maker that leaves the country when the US is in a deficit should be automatically hung for treason.
Fix our country first before trying to work on others.
And voters.

How many whites have died since, this “crime of war shall cease.”
…and Syria, and Somalia, and Lebanon, and Libya, and Grenada, and Bosnia…I’ll just stop now.
Man were we ever on the wrong side in Bosnia.
After 1812 the U.S was never on the right side of any war. NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS
US government has always been the baddies.
The CIA and corrupt politicians have their hands in forever wars everywhere don't they..
Crucial to our freedom: Secure our borders. Deport invaders on first contact. Keep our money at home-repair our own infrastructure. Fire incompetent government employees. Cut budgets. Stop hiring based on skin color.
It worked out great for the people selling the weapons.
Eisenhower WARNED US!
crucial to losing our freedom and for the criminals to keeping theirs

The state department should have been executed after the china debable empowering mao...
The whole damned department that is...

Korea worked out pretty f'n awesome.
Vietnam had potential.
Then the war profiteers completed their takeover. The MIC truely came into it's own.
I wouldn't go that far; South Korea mostly speaks for itself but to say it worked out 'pretty awesome' would require that North Korea still be part of a Communist-Free united Korea if you ask me.
To clarify, South Korea is awesome. McArthur was right and Truman wussed out. The US has a chance to smash the CCP in the 50s, and these are the consequences.
Korea worked out.
My father: I served three tours in Vietnam so we could get our nails done.

Worked out great for the military-industrial complex. For the American people, not so much.

youre not rinsing enough. Everyone sees what’s happening

Rinse it with FIRE!!!
Hah, thanks for monies. Please face wall.
Draft our daughters
Damn you, plebs!!! Stop noticing things!!!
Korea actually is crucial. Without South Korea we don't get to have semiconductors in the future.
We have a lot of natural resources at home, but domestic enemies prevent us from using them.
We have a shale oil field larger than the city of Chicago burning natural gas because it's a by product.
They just burn it.
You're wrong because you're making that shit up.
If people are stupid enough to go fight for War, Inc.'s shareholders I'm cool with it. Less dumbasses breeding and spreading the stupid.
