We are taught we are nation of peace... I'm 45 and war never ever stops. I can go back a 100 years and war never stops. But still the American mindset is we are a nation of peace. Do you see a problem with what is really going on and what we are sold by government and MSM? Americans are spending their children for what? To protect our boarders? No. To empower Americas production and future? NO. WAR NEVER STOPS, but most Americans believe in peace and we are a peaceful nation, but the body bags say some thing else. Whats going on people?
It seems the longest period of peace in the US was between the War of Northern Aggression and the Spanish-American war... about 33 years. http://americanhistory.about.com/library/timelines/bltimelineuswars.htm
There will come a time very soon, the United States will tell the rest of world, to "Go scratch a baboons ass"...... "Your on your own". And just place it concerns and efforts on it's own internal problems and business. And with a Conservative Goverment and President. That can and will be done.
During Jimmy Carter's tenure as President the USA was at peace - not a single shot was knowingly fired in anger by the military at an enemy. Ronald Reagan resumed the war culture in the USA and it has continued and escalated ever since. American Conservatives will soon see it necessary to threaten China and this will be 'doomsday' for the USA. The Chinese will soon rule the entire world for China is the economic superpower of the world and soon, if not already, will be the military superpower. The USA and by default, the western world, is doomed. God help us and our children.
True, the US was too poor to go to war at the time... but then there was that whole Desert One fiasco in Iran. Just proving you're misinformed.
If what you claim is true then how is the US doing it now? She is absolutley bankrupt and is only staying afloat because the Communist Chinese are bankrolling America. sad but true.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you forget about the Iran Hostage Crisis? After rejecting Iranian demands, Carter approved an ill-fated secret rescue mission, Operation Eagle Claw. Late in the afternoon of April 24, 1980, eight RH-53D helicopters flew from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to a remote road serving as an airstrip in the Great Salt Desert of Eastern Iran, near Tabas. Early the next morning six of the eight RH-53D helicopters met up with several waiting C-130 transport and refueling airplanes at the landing site and refueling area, designated "Desert One" by the mission. Of the two helicopters that did not make it to Desert One, one suffered avionics failures en route and returned to the USS Nimitz, and the other had an indication that one of its main rotor blades was fractured, and was abandoned in the desert en route to Desert One. Its crew was seen and retrieved by another helicopter that continued to Desert One. The helicopters maintained strict radio silence under orders for the entire flight, an issue which impacted their ability to maintain a cohesive flying unit while en route, as they all arrived separately and behind schedule. The strict radio silence also prevented them from requesting permission to fly above the sandstorm as the C-130s had done, and they flew the entire route at hazardous low levels, even while inside the sandstorm and with limited field of vision and erratic instrumentation. The mission plan called for a minimum of six helicopters but of the six that made it to Desert One, one had a failed primary hydraulics system and had flown on the secondary hydraulics system for the previous four hours. The failing helicopter's crew wanted to continue, but due to the increased risk of not having a backup hydraulic system during flight, the helicopter squadron's commander decided to ground the helicopter. The commander of the operation, Col. Beckwith, then recommended the mission be aborted and his recommendation was approved by President Carter. As the helicopters repositioned themselves for refueling, one helicopter ran into a C-130 tanker aircraft and crashed, killing eight U.S. servicemen and injuring several more. After the mission and its failure were made known publicly Khomeini's prestige skyrocketed in Iran as he credited divine intervention on behalf of Islam for the result.[111] Iranian officials who favored release of the hostages, such as President Bani Sadr, were weakened. In America, President Carter's political popularity and prospects for being reelected in 1980 were further damaged after a television address on April 25, in which he explained the rescue operation. A second rescue attempt that was planned but never attempted used highly modified YMC-130H Hercules aircraft. Outfitted with rocket thrusters fore and aft to allow an extremely short landing and takeoff in the Shahid Shiroudi soccer stadium located close to the embassy, three aircraft were modified under a rushed super-secret program known as Operation Credible Sport. One aircraft crashed during a demonstration at Duke Field at Eglin Air Force Base Auxiliary Field 3 on October 29, 1980, when its landing braking rockets were fired too soon. The misfire caused a hard touchdown that tore off the starboard wing and started a fire; all on board survived. The impending change in the White House following the November election led to an abandonment of this project. The two surviving airframes were returned to regular duty with the rocket packages removed. One is on display at the Museum of Aviation located next to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. The aforementioned failed rescue attempt led to the creation of the 160th S.O.A.R., a helicopter aviation special forces group in the United States Army and the United States Special Operations Command. Lets not forget The Soviet-Afghanistan War either,which he armed the mujaheddin
