i have a question military people When we go to war why do we destroy places then build it back for them?

Question

Is it some type of social responsibility or something. I'm not gonna talk about your commander in chief bush im not the smartest man i dont have a thousand diplomas. The government did not forsee the problem thats going on now before it arose. Did they think that this was open and shut we get rid of saddam then the people take over there own country. It has not worked that way. If we leave there today can there government maintain, Also help me with this saddam was bad to his people i know but was he going to actually do something to americans on our soil like send a nuclear bomb, now yall military i dont know but to me you would think that saddam did not want to piss us off because we would do exactly what we did to him, so he lost. I'm not gonna lie i was under the impression that when they said saddam had wmd's i'm thinking we gonna have to go to a fallout shelter because he was about to bomb us, I respect all yall military people, Because i wouldnt join so yall got balls

hey dude i never thoght of that

Answer 1

We destroy places to win the war and eliminate the enemy. We build them back up to restore peace and harmony in the world, hopefully in our likeness...ie, democracy. Of course its never as simple as that, but that's basically it...

Answer 2

There are actually two parts to war. 1. Over throw the government. 2. Stabilize the new government, and that includes rebuilding.

If you don't then you have civil unrest-which breeds civil and/or guerrilla war.

An example of the practical application:
That was what had happened with the first Iraq war-we asked civilians to help us and promised them that we would give them a better way of life, without Saddam, in return. After they helped us, and Iraq with drew their troops from Saudi Arabia, we left-without fulfilling our obligations to the civilians that aided us.

After we left, they were tortured and killed. Some had their families tortured and killed. Then when we go back to Iraq during the second war and we ask people to help us-they remember how we screwed them the first time. Needless to say, they hate us and are blowing us up. So now, they, and the rest of the world, view us as meeting our own interests: securing our oil supplies and going home.

Answer 3

Why build it back? It's the lesson learned from World Wars 1 & 2. Failure to rebuild sows the seeds of the next war. Nazism was able to grow and flourish in post-WWI Germany because of the tremendous hardship caused by the war and the brutal peace treaty. By rebuilding the destroyed infrastructure you are building allies in the new government instead of enemies.

Modern weapons also greatly reduce the amount of destructive power needed to accomplish a mission. In WWII to destroy a bridge the allies had to drop 10,000 to 100,000 bombs. In the Viet Nam War that number was down to 1,000. Today it only takes 2 or 3. Which is why military targets are frequently placed in the middle of civilians (by Hezbollah, Hussein did it also, the US doesn't), if you can't hide from the bombs you can force your opponent to either leave you alone or shoot the civilians, too.

Answer 4

They have found many many barrels of nerve gases in Iraq. Enough to take out the entire country. On his own Saddam would have never attacked us. Because as you said he would have lost, but if he teamed up with the rest of the Islamic nations we would have been through. Nuclear bomb? Not from him but Iran or Syria? Never know. As for rebuilding them. If we just break them down and leave then in just a few years this same cycle will be happening all over. A radical Muslim would take the thrown and rebuild the country the bad Americans ruined. Then the entire state would hate us. At least now they are looking at it as though we are there to help them. At least the ones who aren't radical. It is a responsibility of ours to rebuild. At least in my opinion.

Answer 5

Under the logic of, "I'm your best friend and worst enemy."

I'm your best friend, means if you're on my side, I will give you everything. I will rebuild up your schools, I will give you aid, I will protect you during times of war.

Worst enemy,

Means that if you're against me, I will destroy your country.

By following this doctrine, people will understand that if you support me, I am good for you. Likewise, if you are against me, it is really not in your favor. The only option you REALLY have is to be with me.

Like Heroshima! Guilt probably and $$$ (oil and such).

I saw this site. It talks about nuclear war and says that it will come Sept. 12, 2006.
Whether you believe it or not the site is interesting.
You may believe or just have a laugh.
Take a look!
