They do not mess with N Korea because we Could Not take them out and will not try it. That is why we have never been able to defeat them in the war.id say syria. i really wish we would do something about N korea. the shit that goes on there is unbelievable, but nobody ever really talks about them because the country doesnt do much with the outside world. we could take them out pretty easily. S korea is our ally, so if we had that border with the north and navy destroyers around the country, we would win. if we wait too long to do this, we will have to deal with a serious nuclear threat, because iran gives them shit. however, i would try to wait until kim jong il dies, and his son takes over. his son is probably too inexperienced to win a war against us.
As I said earlier in this thread, in a heads up war against Pakistan right now, we'd lose that fight. However the US army in addition to the Indian army would be a vastly superior force. (India's ground assault capabilities combined with our air power).dan i beg to differ like us's superior force against vietnamese ???? who one that war anyways ???? pakistan , and india have Nukes as well and also there was a time when having carriers ment you could take a war to a country but things have changed big time since for instance american patriot missile Failure might of hit 1 out of 10 scuds in reality really was a embarressment to usa
Russia has 17,900 nukes usa has only 7900 nukes ok russia couldnt compete with americans building ship for ship so they decided instead of lets get into the cruise missiles and let me tell you M8 the brahmos cruise missile which india / pakistan and other countrys have via russia selling is far superior then any usa build cruise missile i mean dead bullseye hits at over mach 3
so now usa is limeited to ocean space being they cant stop them by the time a ship caught it its to late ) and also i might add theres no plans to combat this situation for another 10 yrs being usa has no money 2
That is only a pretextWe really shouldn't go around just starting wars because we don't like how some other sovereign nation does things..
Not me. Not now, not in the past, and not in the future. Our military is consistently misused by the executive branch of our government and for that reason I could never be a part of it. Our military is supposed to be a defensive force, not an offensive tool to get want we want all over the world.With all this talk of war how many of you have actually served ?????
exactly correct.That is only a pretext
It is because we have the largest military and if your paying for it and have the people and weapons you need to be using them to justify continued contracts and budget increases.
was just curious how everyone is saying lets invade this or that...I know most men/women who has been in war understand how important it is for peace..Not me.

No thanks on that.
The only time we should go to war is in situations where there is an actual threat to US sovereignty. IMO that does not include any of the wars we've been in since ww2. The cuban missle crisis potentially could have fallen into that category as well if things went differently. If military action would have become necessary there it would have been justifiable.was just curious how everyone is saying lets invade this or that...I know most men/women who has been in war understand how important it is for peace..
Are you kidding? Their weak, underfed "million man army" is a joke. They are protected by the Chinese, and they have nuclear weapons.They do not mess with N Korea because we Could Not take them out and will not try it. That is why we have never been able to defeat them in the war.
And their you have it, we haven't been able to beat them because they have so many people and their backed by China, now their Nuclear and still backed by China and our resolve-willingness to accept casuilties is much lower than it was when the war started after WWII since vietnam the U.S. public has been very much unwilling to put up with those large numbers of dead soliders and thats what it would take to go up against N, K , they openly threaten to nuke us and we are at war and do not respond, I fear it is only a matter of time untill someone starts saying you have to pay us XXX amount a year or else.Are you kidding?

Actually, I put quotes around the million man army because nobody believes they have it. We don't meddle with NK because we want good diplomatic relations with China. China is afraid that if NK feels they were back stabbed by the chinese they will be hit with their nuclear missiles. Also, they don't have technology to send any missiles to America, and it will be a long time before they do.And their you have it, we haven't been able to beat them because they have so many people and their backed by China, now their Nuclear and still backed by China and our resolve-willingness to accept casuilties is much lower than it was when the war started after WWII since vietnam the U.S. public has been very much unwilling to put up with those large numbers of dead soliders and thats what it would take to go up against N, K , they openly threaten to nuke us and we are at war and do not respond, I fear it is only a matter of time untill someone starts saying you have to pay us XXX amount a year or else.
Maybe we should start to do an Air Campaign and then send in ground troops-they will greet us as liberators, it should be a war of days.Actually, I put quotes around the million man army because nobody believes they have it.

Truth is, North Koreans are starving, sheltered people. There is evidence that the NK sends any citizen who opposes them to work (death) camps. Their people would turn on them if they had help.
Dan cmon think about it for a second ok are you winning the war In IraQ hahahaa actually thats antoher waste of tax payors money you lost that war 2 as for world war 2 omfngod americans stood by as there allies got tumbled france was tooken over must i add usa stood by ) what i find so fckin halarious is usa didnt land nott no one troop in europe until russia and england had germany on the runAs I said earlier in this thread, in a heads up war against Pakistan right now, we'd lose that fight. However the US army in addition to the Indian army would be a vastly superior force. (India's ground assault capabilities combined with our air power).
Militarily one of our biggest problems in Vietnam was that our army was being prepared for a WW2 style war against Russia, not fighting Guerrilla forces in the jungles of Vietnam. The Indian army (and our own to a lesser extent), is geared for exactly that against Pakistan. The combined forces of our two armies would be an overwhelming force.
The real fighting would be guerrilla mountain fighting + urban insurgency. That would likely last for a very long time. But the military hardware of the Pakistani army would be absolutely overwhelmed by the combined armies of the US and India. It would however likely result in a nuclear war. Bad plan.
I did, Marine Corps. Got me some combat exp in Somalia.With all this talk of war how many of you have actually served ?????
