Wow... that article was dumb.
Why does he only think that the Americans can be forced to submit only through invasion? There are different kinds of warfare, not just wars of attrition. I personally would nuke the outta a country I didn't like. It may not win the war straight out, but it will definitely hinder the ability of my enemies to wage war if there isn't anyone to work on the economy, industries, etc.
I bet that turd would be the first to surrender.

Lol umm then you just get nuked back and the rest of the world probably jumps your ass for being stupid.
lol, it doesn't surprise me that the Korean War hasn't been directly mentioned. My great uncle died in that war, just like FORTY ONE THOUSAND OTHER AMERICANS (including MIA). That's right, some war the vast majority of Americans don't know why we fought, forty thousand young men just like me and DoK and every -30yearold here died for nothing for. In a shallow ing mud grave while some asshole in washington laughed about it and puffed on a Cuban.
I hate this bull war, but we've had even worse trespasses on Americans, nay, humanity's right to freedom, life, and liberty.

Why not let the troops that are in Iraq and Afghanistan come home and protect the border?
Because no one's invading our borders. Unless you think picking fruit for pennies an hour so you and me don't have to pay more at the conglomerate is an act of war. That's sure living the american dream tens of thousands ing died for.

The Korean War was the first great example of airpower, using the airbridge.
I disagree about it being the first great example of air power. That was definitely WW2. The carrier battles of the Pacific come to mind immediately.
But probably the worst part about the Korean War was the fact its the last major war to incorproate trench warfare for a long period throughout. PLus the Soviets got to fly their pilots against ours without repercussion. So many things about that war piss me off ...
He specified "airbridge" which is a form of logistical support.

more stupidity
The amount of illegals in this country is actually declining because none of them can get work here anymore and a lot of them can have a better lifestyle in Mexico because of how ed up our economy is. Illegals aren't even remotely a problem in this country right now (other than the crime and drugs they bring) and the states like Arizona that drove illegals out are suffering big time because of it. There are apartment complexes in Phoenix that are like 60% vacant and on the verge of shutting down because immigrants vacated in droves after SB1070 was passed.
Oh...
Don't even go there about Phoenix.
I have been to Phoenix so many times, and have family in Sun City West. Phoenix has been in decline in some area for over a decade.
Have you been to Phoenix in the last few years? Areas like the north valley are dead. Bell Rd. from like 15th ave. to 32nd st. is almost like a ghost town with how many empty warehouses there are in that stretch, it's almost surreal to drive through the area and see how dead it is.
Yes, the after effects of a decline that started over a decade ago.
Why blame it on others?

Not a problem? So I guess x million illegals leaching off of our welfare system and driving up the cost of healthcare (not paying) is not a problem?

"I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post."
You know, you're right Zosa, I misspoke. I just think that the Korean War showed how versatile airpower could be, whether it be dropping bombs, or extending the supply chain.
Thanks for the backup WC.
I might wear fairly thick glasses, but I'm not quite blind. You, however, apparently never saw firsthand the absolute brutality of the Soviet system of governance. I did. I've seen firsthand civilians being shot down for the crime of trying to leave the "workers paradise". I've watched the East Germans performing maintenence on the minefields just the other side of "the wall". I used to listen to the Russian army radio traffic, and believe me, their intentions toward the west were anything but benign.
I was a Russian linguist with the Army Security Agency assigned to Field Station Berlin at Teufelsberg.
BTW, speaking of airbridge, let's not forget the Berlin Airlift of 1947. This came about when those benign, friendly Soviets attempted to get Britian, France, and the US to leave Berlin by blockading the roads and starving them out.
I guess the 70 million plus victims to communism were just killed by bogey men too?
That was the new Air Force's first crucible, and they passed with a pretty decent grade from most accounts.
Why dont you ask Joseph McCarthy ?
The Soviets were not just a communist country but also a totalitarian dictatorship. For whatever reason Americans think communism = totalitarian dictatorship.
RIght and how many communists did he kill?
Americans think Communism = 15 cent tax hikes on Christmas trees.
We're not a very smart bunch.
I think that is the point. It seems almost impossible to vote communism out. I guess because they don't get to vote anymore.
