Lost Vietnam, lost Gulf War I (if America had won it, we’d be paying less for oil and we wouldn’t have to be back there) and are losing the War on Terror…yeah, the last time American “won” a war was Korea, and Korea was really a push.

We won 1812, 1865 (we won and lost at the same time), 1918, and ’45, man. What British rock have you been hiding under?

Lawl. Okay so the British RAF, French and the rest of the Allies would have won WWII without America’s support? Lawl. Kid, Russia had what, 1m+ Deaths? Oh and don’t get me started on Canada. tbh the blitzakrieg on GB only failed due to Hitler’s ‘mental disorder’ if it weren’t for his crazy intentions and the US GB wouldn’t be existant to date.

Did the ‘Elite Republican Guard’ ever show up in GW1 or 2?

an important contributor to those wins

And then billed everyone for their participation… If they’d admit they were a mercenary force for the war in Europe, then I’d have less issue with them trumpeting their role…

It’s the attachment to carpet bombing… only time it worked was Dresden, and that was mostly the RAF. US have tried it in every theatre since, and really, all it does is piss off the local wildlife.

Okay, I’ve looked at the wiki page for that ship. The incident to which I assume you’re reffering, where an American ship refused to let the Leopard search it for deserters and the Leopard subsequently attacked and overpowered it, happened in 1807, five years before the war of 1812. It’s called the war of 1812 because that’s when the war actually started. Tensions were raised before it started of course, but the opening shots of the actual war were fired by America.

Wasn’t that the war where the British was pressing American sailors into working on their ships? Or am I just crazy again?

Started the war? Maybe you should google “HMS Leopard” before you say that.

I’m more thinking of an attack earlier this year on a small town in Afghanistan the the US claimed killed no civilians, but Afghanistan and the UN say killed more than 90 civilians. Several weeks later, the US conceded that they may have it civilians. Click name for some info.

This type of incident is not unique, but this is one of the worse examples.

I correct you. You are very wrong here.

It depends on where you live. If you live in Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart or anything in between, you’d probably be fine. Perth is a definite maybe, but Darwin would be doomed. See name for more.

As for WWI, they were more morale boosters than anything else. But their number did help when they joined in 1917.

The battle of New Orleans was fought after the peace treaty had been signed and so had absolutely no effect on the outcome of the war. And the reason American ships tended to win fights against the Royal Navy was they avoided fights that weren’t one-on-one, so they could take full advantage of the fact that their ships, few as they were, carried far more guns than the RN ships.

You can dress it up as a victory all you want, but the simple fact is America started the war, took no new territory and only achieved the objectives for which it justified the war because Britain changed it’s policies due to circumstances which had nothing to do with the war.

You’d think the French would have learned to bring a Corsican with them whenever they partake in military adventures.

A soldier has not only the right but the obligation to disobey an illegal order. But in the terms you’re thinking of, the courts have long since determined that an order to deploy is not in itself illegal even if the basis for the military action is.

As soon as you enlist. Until then, we treat people the way we wamt OUR troops treated.

Wrap your head around that concept once you’ve pulled it out of your arse, kthxbai.

There doesn’t appear to be any mixing between neanderthals and H. Sapiens. Most probably there were crossbreeds, but they were sterile like mules are. There is also no evidence of any kind of massive violence between us and neanderthals. More than likely, we simply out-competed them in hunting and gathering. Seeing as how we tend to fill the same niche, there simply wasn’t enough left over for neanderthals to survive on. /pedant mode OFF
