I agree more or less, but my point is that the government demonized the word communism like it was this big bad evil when the real evil is a totalitarian government, something we already knew.
But it. Troops are just baby killers. Just because we eventually won the cold war doesn't mean we couldn't have lost. Same is said about WW2. You can't look back as the victors thinking belittling of our past enemies.

Since Russia didn't have a true form of communism, Americans see what Russia had and they don't want it. China also doesn't have a true form of communism.
America doesn't have a true democracy, but many Americans think we do.
It's amazing what 1st year college kids think they've discovered.
what communist country hasn't had a totalitarian dictatorship?
well you could argue that the red scare he helped revitalize fueled our interests in korea and vietnam...so millions.

DoK getting on in yet another military thread.
Dude, stick to what you know about, pinching pennies and sniffing out quarters in couch cushions. Your military knowledge comes from movies, video games, some liberal got instructors who never served and South Park.
Give it a rest.
Could you argue that the Truman doctrine was in any way influenced by J. McCarthy?
If you would read what I said, the war wouldn't be won straight out.
This is what my plan would be. I would get into contact with terrorists since apparently... the US government has issues finding them. I would give them some nukes to place at locations I decide. Then set them all off at once. Noone could blame my country, but they could blame the terrorists. My country suffers no nuclear strike, and the war goes on with anonymous "soldiers" doing all of the fighting. Those dumbass terrorists just want to die anyways. You can't nuke someone if you don't know who is responsible. The world won't allow it.
PS: I am NOT a terrorist... just an extremely bored individual.

I would call 411 and ask for the terrorists hideout, tell them I am ing jihad 2.0 with a side of tummy sticks. They would on themselves and I could sell them ty fireworks.
That would end it.
It's called the forgotten war for a reason.
@zosa the threat of communism spreading was a real threat. The Korean war showed China, and Russia that we will contain Communism and help our aliies out. As a result, S. Korea is one the biggest and most prosperous economies in the world, One thing that doesn't get mentioned is us allying with china through all this. It helped china to move more towards a capitalist friendly communist rule, which russia vehemently was against. It also helped china become more allies with america than russia. the korean war was anything but some forgotten war. It has helped to be a great comparison of the evils of communism and the benefits to an entire society with a free market with free citizens.
Lets see if you're humming the same tune once a few Shahab missiles are tipped with nuclear payloads.
Having filed a few of these myself, I can tell you they're more than a boogeyman. This is unless you believe Ack-mah-dinny-johnny is actually a misunderstood peace loving tree hugger.

Communism was never anything to be scared of...Russia was.
But the re edness that was McCarthyism and the House Committee of Unamerican Activities blackballed anyone who knew anything about communism. These were people that the govt should have been consulting, working, and strategizing with and instead they were exiled for being "unamerican".
ing idiots.
The Eisenhower clip at the end......wow.

who does protect our freedom, if the troops dont do it?
Nobody because you aren't being attacked by innocent people who are living 100000000000000000000 miles away
so who protects it when we are (america) being attacked?
Our freedoms are being destroyed from within by people who have so long been out of reality (generations it seems) that they are sure that we shouldn't have rights that they don't think we need.
This enemy believes safety to be a feeling, not a state of being and they will do what it takes to feel safe as long as that doesn't require getting off the couch or becoming educated in things that threaten safety.
Berlin Airlift 2 years earlier says oTruly one of the greatest events in all history, specifically aviation history, was the Berlin airlift.
commie = 1 party only....inside party many factions
whatever is related to the party whether its the army, its purpose? is to protect the members in the party only, fck the population
you fck around with the govt, they take out there on the population
Using an airbridge perhaps, although the Berlin airlift comes to mind. The horrors of the Dresden firebombing were recounted to me by my mother a time or two. It had an eerie glow night after night. The stories that survivors had about the carnage were like something out of a fiction novel.
I'd have to go with the Allied air campaign over Nazi Germany from late 1942 till mid 1945.
Yes, the Berlin Airlift was a pretty amazing operation. I just was rereading up on it last night; pretty amazing how they retooled some of their plans on the fly in order to more effectively carry out the mission.
