Wouldn't a big fat world war do us all a lot of good right about now?

I bet it would toughen up that weak American military.

Have you noticed the praise that was showered over the American military for spending billions of dollars to hunt down and kill a 54 year old handicapped man who lived in a third world country?

Way to go tough guys!!!

    I bet it would not toughen up anyone. People complain about everything from going to work and people not liking them. Most americans are complacent, lazy, and too metro sexual to even know what to do in an event of a world war. We are a couple steps away from pissing off a nation or two before they hand our a@ses to us and maybe it would be a wake up call. Maybe then you people can put your phones down, stop drinking your lattes and start acting like productive human beings again.

    That question should be directed to the folks that wear the uniforms. I believe the military takes an oath to protect and defend, not make folks back home just feel better about themselves.

    Look at it like this, why the hell would any nation even risk the chance of losing its history, or any foundation that remains within their walls? Were not talking ww1 or ww2. Were talking about the most ungodly creation that man has ever seen. Are you a ******* moron?

    Only if you are interested in conscription and all that comes with it. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say it is a bad idea.

    I'm not a fan of war. However, I'm sure the Earth would thank us after we kill every last one of us.

    Again with that stupid, asinine notion that war is good for the economy from people who don't know what the f--k they are talking about.

    What we need is a real gut busting Navy war.

    No. Senseless death never does anyone any good.

    Wouldn't do us any good. Just our masters.
