Further to the previous Q. Because Vietnam "kicked their ***" does that mean Vietnam is the most powerful? (It would in boxing)
How can you compare the Roman Empire to America? (Well America uses their alphabet and the Ottoman Empire's numerals)
With nukes aren't Russia, France, China, the U.K etc all capable of annihilating the U.S as unlikely as that'd be?
When has America ever suceeded militarily?
Compared to the failures : Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia, Cuba, Iran (special ops hostage rescue attempt), Nicaragua, Barbary Pirates (1800's). WWII (qualititively if not quantitively against Germany)
Surely in the hierarchy (adjusting for technology) America has to be way down? What do you think?
