Just keep repeating the same old myths laughing hyena and hope your opponent is ignorant.
"WW1 ...no...Trench warfare forever."
Allied Soldiers Killed in WW1:
Belgium: 13,700 British Empire: 908,000 Australia: 60,000 Canada: 55,000 India: 25,000 New Zealand: 16,000 South Africa: 7,000 United Kingdom: 715,000 France: 1,240,000 French Colonies: 114,000 Greece: 5,000 Italy: 650,000 Japan: 300 Montenegro: 3,000 Romania: 336,000 Russia: 1,700,000 Serbia: 45,000 United States: 50,600
Among the more regrettable and bloody episodes of this kind of wartime hysteria took place in the Midwest where a mob seized a German-American man by the name of Robert Prager, stripped him of his clothes, bound him with cloth made from an American flag and lynched him in front of a crowd of some 500 or more people, all of whom cheered the effort on. The perpetrators of the lynching were arrested and brought to trial. A jury acquitted them in 20 minutes saying that what they had done was patriotic murder. David Kennedy, Stanford University
"WW11...no......Remember the footage of McArthur taking the Japanese surrender aboard the Missouri in Tokyo Harbour."
After Hiroshima and Nagasaki with hundreds of thousands of women and children killed.
"N.Korea....UN engagement, S.Korea would be all part of N.Korea without the US."
Go visit the DMZ north of Seoul and then claim it was a victory by the US.
"Gulf war 1 and 2....Ditto."
If the sneak attack on withdrawing troops can be called a victory? As for #2, you have to be joking.
"Vietnam .. never lost a battle (fact).......the fifth column, like today, white anted the war.....and as you may not remember, the US was gone a full 2 years before NV broke their peace agreement and invaded S.Vietnam."
Over 200k US dead and wounded. They lost the war, never mind the set battles, despite the use of the most horrendous weapons short of nukes, because the enemy HAD MORE GUTS!!!
"The cold War....Speaks for itself...USSR no longer exists."
Yes but Russia is rehearsing a nuclear attack on the US this very week. The USSR collapse was an internal one.
"Oh, and they did win the American War of Independence, in spite of Napoleans help."
