Why is the United States Military getting stomped in Iraq?

Question

The American military said back in 2003 " Ohhhhraaaa!!! Lets beat some butt! bring it ON!!! Let's lock and load!! Now here it is 2006 and the American Military is saying Ohhhhhh Crap!! Thery're beating our butts....Bring me Home!!.....I've got a load of crap in my pants..

Answer 1

because americans are stupid and shoot before they think. duh. thats why the world hates them but they are also too stupid to realize that!
thanx mr bush. you have single handedly f****d up the world.

Answer 2

I'm here in Iraq now. The American Military isn't getting their butt beat. If you haven't realized, this war is being run by the war opponents and the president's enemies. The president no longer has the balls to make a decision for himself. So now, the military is on a tight leash. This has become a "politically correct" war. They have to operate with "rules of war", where the insurgents don't. The upper military management doesn't want to embarrass the president and all his people in the white house. We would be out of here already had they established a zero tolerance rule for Iraq. You can't win a war with the soldier's hands tied behind their back. The other problem over here is the news media. They are constantly following the military, interfering with missions, and then the soldiers have to protect the media in case of attack. Have you noticed all the negative stuff about the military in the news lately? I promise you haven't heard ANYTHING positive in a long time. I hope you understand what I mean now.........

Answer 3

I doubt very much that the U.S. military is getting beat on the field of battle. Any time the U.S. military and the Iraqi insurgency go head-to-head, the U.S. military is almost surely going to come out on top. They are well-trained, well-equipped, and well-supported.

There are calls to bring home the U.S. military, but that is mostly coming from civilian leaders, not the military. Some portion of the military does want to come home, but that's because duty in Iraq is unpleasant and keeps them away from home. It is not because the American military feels they are being beaten in Iraq.

It's kind of like 2 men getting into a fight in a bar, a big man and a little man. The big man can clearly get the upper hand, pummeling the little man into a bloody pulp, but the little man keeps getting up and coming back for more punishment. Every once in a while, the little man might land a soft punch on the big man's arm. After a while, the big man gets bored and tired of having his clothes dirtied, so he walks away. Does that mean the little man beat the big man's butt?

Answer 4

I hope Fr Chuck doesn't spew those same lies of his from behind the pulpit! It's people like you, Falwell and Robertson who give Christianity a bad name! You're so blinded by your love of Bush that you can't see that God is not blessing us in this monumental follie of a war. I pray for the safety of our troops but God never blesses a lie. No American, worth his salt ,wishes to see any of our troops die. Do you honestly believe an American life is more valuable than an Iraqi's? I believe that we're all precious in the Lord's sight and by bringing al-qaeda into Iraq, we've done the Iraqis a grave injustice. 100 civilians a day wouldn't be targetted and dying if WE had not started this mess. It's now only a question of when, not if, we pull out.

Answer 5

Listen you freaking idiot, instead of blaming the military how about pointing the finger at the government who put us into the war. Also, in 2003 we did kick *** when we were fighting the war that we were asked to fight. If you can remember Rumsfield said that there would be no insurgency. Next time before you talk a bunch of bullshit about the service members of this country you should realize that the sole reason you and I can be on this sight typing what ever we want is because of those people your disrespecting.

Answer 6

It you again a**hole don't you have any thing better to do ... get a life you traitor ....

I've read you profile, now I know where you are coming from. You are a traitor and any one that knows what you know should be shot as a traitor.. You are spewing your hate because you weren't man enough to make it in the military... You poor misguided child I bet you mother is proud of you...LOL..
Stop feeling sorry for your self ..did they kick you out of the military and now you can't get a job, on crack, or one of the many other excuses people like you complain about... you poor excuse for a person...

Answer 7

First they are not getting beat, most of the terror attacks now are on thier own iraq people. And we are doing lots of great work there, rebuiding most of their nation.

But of course the problem we were not allowed to fight a real war, too many in the US prefer our soldiers to die, instead of some civilians, Our troops are almost scared to shoot back because they don't want to be arrested for murder.

We needed to fight the war like Isreal has done so far with Lebonan. Hit alot harder and level areas to they give up.

Answer 8

1: too many subcontractors
2: if Mexico invaded Texas cause Halliburton was bad for the American people would you just throw flowers at their feet
3: those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
ie: Algeria

Answer 9

When engaged in a stand up fight the US won every battle against the Iraqi armed forces and the insurgents, it's the shooting from in a crowd of civilians and leaving bombs on the side of roads that we have a harder time fighting against.

Answer 10

Because we are a good, humanitarian people. We do not set out to kill anyone in sight - women, children, elderly. If our military were not being careful to avoid collateral damage, this would have been overwith on day 1.

Answer 11

I'm thinkin you got tossed from the military for wetting the bed and you haven't come to terms with it yet. But I have to give you credit, you get people going here.

Try to get a real life assbag........

Thanks for the 2 points!
