Since the 1940’s the Us has had to put their wanker in world events……this interventionism is not always a good thing….yes I know we were on the winning side of WW2….but what has happened since that day?
Korea was not a win…..at best a ceasefire and hostilities are still paramount on the piece of land that juts out into the ocean…..okay smartass what about the first Gulf War?
We won that one right? Not really….we id devastate the Iraqi army but it also was basically a ceasefire…..we could go on….but I believe you have a grasp on the idea.
Our military adventurism has NOT produced many positive results…..we could argue this point but I believe that if we are truly honest we will see that not much has happened that we could call a success in the Middle East. Okay we killed Saddam…..we killed several bad guys…all that is good but what has it gotten us?
The recent death of an American soldier in Iraq in the fight against ISIS brings into the argument a different aspect…..
On October 22, US Army Master Sergeant Joshua L. Wheeler died near Hawija, in northern Iraq, while taking part in a mission aimed at rescuing prisoners from Islamic State forces.

We can continue down the path we created but all that does is make some arms manufacturers wealthy…..will do nothing to bring about a calmer Middle east….

Our military is involved in so many countries that it is hard to keep track……and each country can be said to be the next point of conflict…..
Time for the US to re-think all this overseas adventurism…..not only does it all cost money we do not have….but it will eventually start costing American lives……something I am NOT willing to accept….not in the name of profits and interventionism…..
We became so politically correct that we put the rest of the world concerns above our own citizens’. Our government sacrifices our troops for the sake of ‘looking good.’
Do not overlook the massive profits being taken out of the situation….
I agree, in my haste to answer, I missed that.
No problem….it is just sad that it comes to that….chuq
PC?
Not Me!
Fuk Em!
What Eva disguise……
However,,,,,the rest of the world is human as me….
so if we continue to interfere we have to consider
they are as human as me and you….
N’cest pas ?
Our “Military Adventurism” is very good for the bottom line of the war mongers, the hawks and those who manufacture and supply war materials.(Not to mention the undertakers, the casket makers, the grave diggers and the funeral parlors.)
That is the price that the public pays for this adventurism…..the lives of our children…
