now read carefully what im typing here cause i dont think anybody did understand it.
1.fighting insurgents or terrorists is not called WAR.
2.if u would use your head u would realize that giving every riflemen 270
rounds when millions of them get deployed is economically and logistically impossible for every country on this planet today.
3.lets talk about the USA.a country who cant stop a handful of
third-world-terrorists flying with slow airliners into a major city and destroying the world-trade-center.
thats a hell of a world power isnt it?
u really think that the USA can handle a world war if they cant even handle some terrorists?
so stop talking about US standards.
the US aint a threat.
think twice before u reply some irrelevant bs.
see u in hell
C'mon man! What you're saying is that you don't have anything to support your initial argument, so you just decide to throw a few shots at the U.S., instead. That's great Fishman! That's a pretty childish way to act. It's reminiscent of when you're a kid, and somebody makes you look stupid (in reality, you make yourself look stupid and someone just points it out to you), so you just call them a looser instead of rebuking their claim. I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about who would win in a fight between Superman and Godzilla. I love the U.S., but I'm not the fourteen year old who is going to say that America is the best country in the world, and anything from America is better than everything that isn't. The U.S. is my favorite country in the world (I'm a little partial), but that doesn't mean it's the best.
The Iraq War is a war! It's called an asymmetric war. Just because there aren't tank divisions rolling across the Eastern front, doesn't make this something other than a war.
Your argument that the whole of the industrialized world is incapable of supplying a few million soldiers with 270rds, in a time of war, is ridiculous. Enough said there.
You say that America's inability to stop 9/11 displays our weakness? There have only been a small number of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in it's over 200 year history, and we have been a pretty big target over the past 40 years. Can you show me a country that has had a 100% success rate of stopping terrorist attacks?
As far as our military might, there are a number of outstanding militaries globally, and I believe that the U.S. military is the most powerful in the world (at this time). I'm not saying that the U.S. trains the hardest, or that we are the most skilled, we just have a vast military might that is technologically advanced. To say that any country in the world could declare war on the U.S., and not have to worry about America's military might just demonstrates your ignorance.
The only valid point you made was that insulting someone doesn't resolve anything. You're right about that, but I'm human. If you were a shoemaker and a stone mason told you exactly how shoes were supposed to be made (but was completely wrong because he didn't have any idea how to make shoes), you would become upset, too. I'm wrong about things all the time, but I usually admit to it when I am. In this particular argument, you're wrong. You should just be a man, and admit it. I know that you're going to become defensive when someone calls you an idiot--I would too. I'm sorry for the personal attacks, but the fact is that you're wrong here.
