A quick recap of American Military History:
 
1770s:
America's birth as a nation began as a rebellion against the British Empire. Lead by General George Washington, the Americans fought a losing campaign against England's 2nd string forces until a Prussian officer named Baron Von Steuben arrived to show them how to fight. The war dragged on for many years until the Battle of Yorktown, where France provided artillery and gunboats. Faced with the superior French forces, the British decided the colonies were too expensive to maintain and retreated. America was now independent.

1812:
After hopelessly watching it's sailors get drafted by foreign navies, the fledgling nation declared war on England. The young Americans had their ass kicked badly, the British marched on Washington DC, burned down the White House, and went home laughing. American forces also attempted 3 invasions of Canada. All failed.

1860:
America goes to war once again. Against other Americans. Despite military and economic support from France, the Union forces were outclassed on the battlefield and lost most of the battles, but had better logistics and thus were able to force a Confederate surrender. America finally earns its first unaided victory in war.

1898:
Incompetent American sailors accidentally blow up their own ship. Itching for a war, the American government finds a harmless scapegoat in Spain and declares war. After a short time, glorious victories are achieved over relatively undefended Hawaii, Cuba, and the Phillippines.

1917:
After sitting on the sidelines for 3 years trying to decide what to do in "The War To End All Wars", America sees that the French and British are gaining the upper hand on Germany and joins the winning team. Thousands of Americans travel to Europe, and are used primarily as REMFs by the French military command. At the end of the war, American General Pershing was finally allowed to fight. He sent thousands of troops "over the line" against the defeated and demoralized German forces who were ready to surrender anyway. Glory all around.

1941:
WW2, Pacific Theater. After doing nothing for years while Japan marched all over Asia, America joined the war after being attacked at Pearl Harbor. America re-captured hundreds of meaningless sand bars all over the Pacific, and when faced with an invasion of Japan, America flinched. Recruited a group of foreign scientists to develop the A-bomb, and dropped it on Japan, forcing a surrender.

1944:
WW2, European Theater. The war in Europe had been raging for years while the Americans mostly provided fighters and bombers to their British and Russian allies. By 1944, the war had been decided. Russia had defeated the Wehrmacht and was rapidly closing in on Berlin, so the Americans decided to join the fight. Their presence was mostly a nuisance to Hitler, who sent all of his best troops to the Eastern Front. The Americans spent a year fighting German boys and old men and finally met the Russian Army in August 1945, who had been sitting in Berlin enjoying their victory and awaiting the American arrival.

1952:
American forces are kicked out of Korea by Chinese forces. Americans manage a meager comeback and fight to a stalemate which is still going on today.

1965-1975:
American forces, paranoid about Communism, fight and lose a war to a bunch of Vietnamese peasants. U.S. Marines, whose motto is "These colors never run" flee from Saigon with their tails between their legs.

1980:
After the American embassy is taken over by Iranian students and hostages are captured, America launches a massive special-ops mission to rescue the hostages. The helicopter crashes in the desert before the mission even starts. Americans give up, and Ronald Reagan finally trade weapons in exchange for the return of the hostages.

1982:
Hundreds of U.S. Marines killed in Beirut during a single bombing. Reagan loses his will to fight and orders an immediate retreat.

1983:
American pride is restored during the glorious invasion of Grenada, a tiny undefended island in the Carribbean.

1991:
After gathering up as much international support as possible, President Bush bombs Iraqi troops in Kuwait until they're ready to flee. American armor rolls into Kuwait, then stops, not wanting to fight the Iraqis on their home turf. A long cease-fire ensues, in which American bombers patrol a "no fly zone" and Iraq resumes its WMD program.

2003:
The son of the first President Bush decides to change tactics in the 13-year-old war and go for a full-scale invasion. Gets ass kicked by a bunch of unruly Muslim savages.


America sucks.

how about Ukrainian military history?

most unbiased recap of american history ever!

your kinda forgetting the part where we rose up to become the strongest country in the world, but this is just troll bait so have fun with your thread buddy...

Jealous you could never join a real man's fighting military?

Small penis syndrome?

I pity you pal :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Somewhat selective but amusing nonetheless. My grandfather who fought in WWII was always less than complimentry about the abilities of the American Armed Forces leading to the old joke from the time

"When the Germans opened fire the British ducked
When the British opened fire the Germans ducked
When the Yanks opened fire everyone fucking ducked!"

The Union never got help from ANYONE. In fact despite the fact that everyone was supposed to stay out of the Us Civil War there are indeed facts proving that the SOUTH got help from both France and England.

Are you retarded? First of all Cuba and the Philippines were under Spanish control. The citizens of those countries did NOT enjoy that. They were more than happy we kick Spain's ass.

Once again retardation on your part. First of all yes we sat on the sidelines for 3 years. Why should we have gotten involved? We should have just let all the Eurotrash kill each other. Anyways 3 years and England and France weren't getting anywhere. US comes in and in less than a year the war is over. Hmmmmm.

By the way exactly which European countries helped us fight the Japanese?

Boy you really are showing your retardation. First of all were were in Europe before 1944. My grandfather risked his ass to free you ungrateful bastards from Hitler and you posts this crap? Unlike the weak-assed German we were able to fight a war on 2 fronts and WIN.

Quote:
1952:

You realize the Chinese outnumbered us even then by 5-1? By the way Canada and Australia were also involved in this war.

Why no mention of FANCE's involvement during the 1950's? Seems they left with tails between their legs too. Hmmmm.

Boy this is REALLY retarded. Iran/Contra happen in the mid 1980's The Iran hostage situation was over by Jan 1981. LEARN about stuff before posting MORON.

A) I seem to remember most of Europe being involved in this war also.

B) If Iraq did restart their WMD program where are they?

dont confuse the issue...we are america bashing here:)

jimthefiend 05-24-2007 06:51 AM
Dude, context is EVERYTHING and you're ignoring it. MOST of those books were banned by individual schools and the ACLU and such. VERY, VERY few of those were banned by the actual government and of THOSE, the vast majority were banned like a hundred years ago or some shit.

You made a statement implying that our Government regularly bans books these days which is PATENTLY FALSE.

Heres a list of some of the "banned" books in Canada WITH context and I think you'll find it similiar.

You do occasionally bring up a valid point on one issue or another, but it's really sad when you pull little shenanigans like this man. Come on.

Hey... be nice to the Germans.... they just get a little land hungry every now and then.... It's been 50 some odd years.. i bet they are itching again

BTW... my grandfather fought for the Germans in WWII.... Marched on Moscow in their ill-fated winter attempt against the Russians.... interesting to hear the perspective from the other side (not that they all loved Hitler or anything)

how come there's no mention of VP in there?

VP is a force that can't be ignored.

believe it

He's asking how old are you to be calling people KIDS? I'm 38 so I would guess that I'm older than at least 80% of the posters here.

Once again the anti-American dolts are posting ignorant bullshit. If you ever needed help we'd be there to get you out of trouble. Go back to masterbaiting to Rossie Rossie Odonnel.

1812:
After hopelessly watching it's sailors get drafted by foreign navies, the fledgling nation declared war on England. The young Americans had their ass kicked badly, the British marched on Washington DC, burned down the White House, and went home laughing. American forces also attempted 3 invasions of Canada. All failed.

hahaha.. british fought with the navy.. canadian farmers and native americans did the dirty work.. and most of the american forces "invading" didn't want the war in the first place..

Well technically my Grandfather insulted him I just passed it along - also the UK was not invaded during WWII so again there was no actual 'freeing' from the Nazi's involved (Channel Islands excepted)

...and boy you lot sure are sensitive - 'raw nerve' and 'hitting' spring to mind. Although we tend to have a different outlook as we tend to celebrate epic failures or flukey victories as opposed to stunning successes. Charge of the Light Brigade, Dunkirk etc.

America has such a poor military record, yet it's still the most powerful nation on earth? Hmm...

Sure does have a poor military record for the amount spent by the Pentagon. So... it must be powerful in.... currency? international cred? the hub of the world's industry?

Nevermind... I'm going for a drink. Want one? :winkwink: :thumbsup

Thread after thread after thread started by some non US idiot explaining how bad the US is. watching someone piss up at their betters is fucking funny to watch.

Russia had defeated the Wehrmacht and was rapidly closing in on Berlin, so the Americans decided to join the fight. Their presence was mostly a nuisance to Hitler, who sent all of his best troops to the Eastern Front. The Americans spent a year fighting German boys and old men and finally met the Russian Army in August 1945, who had been sitting in Berlin enjoying their victory and awaiting the American arrival.
A little revisionist history on your part.

First, the British were broke and got $50b from the US in supplies to fight the war. Without the US, they would have been overrun. Second, the US was in the war before 1944. They were responsible for the daylight air raids in Berlin in 1942 and getting the Germans out of North Africa.

Seriously, read a book on WW2 one of these days.

Recruited a group of foreign scientists to develop the A-bomb, and dropped it on Japan, forcing a surrender.
Not exactly sure how this is a military failure. Basically the US kicked the shit out of the Japanese.
