How come the USA military is acting like the keystone cops?

Question

The term ( Keystone Cops ) has since come to be used to criticize any group for its mistakes, particularly if the mistakes happened after a great deal of energy and activity, or if there was a lack of coordination among the members of the group. For example, the attack on Iraq to bring freedom to that country. Here it is 2006 and the USA military is getting a butt whipping by a group of rag tag men with basic weapons. The USA military looks silly as hell. The writing is on the walls so to say. The USA will go down in defeat. Shame is coming like the shame in Vietnam.

Answer 1

You sure are pre-occupied with wanting to see US military failure in Iraq. I believe you identify it with your own cowardly failure in Vietnam. Even a scum-sucker like you, in the rear with the gear, and still a miserable failure. How can anyone screw up that assignment? C'mon Erudite,get it off your chest. We can handle it. Tell us what went haywire in your brain, way back when?


In Vietnam, there was no US military failure. There was however, political failure. Following the Tet offensive, all the Americans needed to do was show up, and the country was theirs. By then Lyndon Baines Johnson had either gone brain dead or finally realized that he had started a pointless war. It may have finally occurred to him that the Vietnamese people were no threat to the US, and that they simply wanted their independence. But again, that was Johnson's failure not the US military.

These towel heads today, are a threat to the US. On that basis alone, we will continue to destroy these bastards until the end of time, if necessary. They will never win and the US will never lose. As long as we have a cause like the one we have, that of self preservation, no damned sand monkeys will get the last word.

The only thing looking silly as hell is you, and these silly @ss remarks you've been making. Get a new boyfriend, or something, you need a reason for living, so go find it.

Being a member of the United States Armed Forces, I feel it's necessary to clarify, the military as a whole is not acting how you portray them. The majority of the military (me being part of the majority) is doing what it's told to do. the Generals who make the decisions are the ones you should be criticizing. I've been in since 1998, I signed a contract that said I would uphold the constitution, and obey orders from those appointed over me. Now that being a contract means I don't have to agree with what I'm being told, but I have a legal obligation to do as I'm told. I can't be held liable for what I do, as long as it's lawful. Anything Illegal must be ignored and reported. So generalizations made by liberals like yourself make people like me, the law abiding citizen, out to be a "keystone cop" when you should be talking to your congressman (assuming you're old enough to vote, which I doubt) and let him/her know how you feel, and try to make change that way, not by asking the people here at yahoo what they think. Make an effort to bring change, don't just sit around and complain and make accusations.

according to possibility it is no longer the individuals that are the Keystone Kops, however the Iraqis. It basically seems they simply stand around merchandising shies kabob at the same time as their cities are being destroyed by making use of their fellow Muslims. i ask your self what number Iraqis killed by making use of their very own human beings than by making use of individuals. Why do i'm getting the sensation your counsel and concerns are coming from the media and not wrestle journey? conflict is a complicated environment. this is stressful to combat a conflict and rebuild an infrastructure of a rustic. for the time of previous wars we centred on destroying the enemy and apprehensive approximately rebuilding to the conflict became into gained. because of the fact that I have not any suggestions to the present concern and have not been to Iraq i won't make judgments on what's properly happening over there. yet I do get disenchanted once I see militia troops portray homes at the same time as the Iraqis stand around watching them paint. How lots intelligence or braveness does it take to color a development,. i think of you could omit there and tell the militia a thank you to do issues and get each thing straightened out.

Answer 4

If you knew more about the enemy we are fighting and the battleground, maybe you wouldn't feel that way. Then again if your ignorant enough to ask the question then maybe you would.

There are many reasons that we are still seeing deaths:
- We are fighting an enemy that does not value human life, including the life of their own people.
- Americans are wearing uniforms where our enemy dresses the same as the people we are trying to protect.
- Our enemy is willing to use innocent civilians to kill Americans or anyone else they want to.
- Bombs created out of normal everyday looking items like soda cans are not basic weapons.
- Children unknowingly carrying bombs are not basic weapons either.

If the military wanted to be as heartless as our enemy and accept higher civilian casualties in order to kill more of our enemy then would you say they are the keystone cops? No, you would probably say they were heartless murrderers! Then again that would just cause more enemies to grow.

Answer 5

Why you shamefull, disrespectfull, DISGRACE To the American fighting man, as well as the public!!!! How-Dare you say such thing's about our military? I would bet my left-hand against a wooden-nickle that after 9/11, Your MOUTH was opened the WIDEST asking for the Same Military you now critisize to do something about it werent you? Tramp! I have never in my life seen one-person piss on so-many head stones with one statement as you have done!!!! You Disgrace to Civilization!!!! You need to, outside of getting the teeth Knocked-Out of your treacherous skull, be shipped off to a third-world country such as VIetnam, Placed in one of their numerous brothels, and be forced to work there for the remainder of your miserable life! THEN your attitude towards our Men in Uniform fighting for the nation's security would surely come to light. I can hear you now, Dear God I hope they come for me soon! Rescue me, Rescue me! But, That would fall on deaf ear's, because the likes of you are not worth the effort of rescuing. Maybe you could call the "Keystone-Cops" to help you out? Because our Mighty-Men in the Military damn sure as hell wont! That being said, take your happy, Islamofascist-A** back to your whole in the desert, or the cave you have crawled out of, and never again return to this Great Nation. Also, I hope your computer explodes in your lap. And I also hope you never breed and multiply! God, The thought of those poor children having "Hanoi-Jane" as a mother turns my stomach! 1st.

Answer 6

Hey listen up you little fag boy!! US was under no "shame" from Vietnam & the US military personnel are a bunch of fine people
performing difficult work. What is difficult is to keep from popping
a cap in all you ragheads as*es!!

Answer 7

Don't crticize our men and women in uniform. They are soldiers. They follow orders. It is because of their selfless sacrifice, that morons like you can ask such an asinine question like this. If you're going to point fingers, you can point them in the direction of the Pentagon. The top brass in the Pentagon are the ones who decide where and how our soldiers are going to fight this war.

Answer 8

We learned nothing from Vietnam, as we are making the same mistakes in Iraq

Numerous times repeating this same post... yet another violation against the rules here, to go with the slander, insults, and violation of copyright law....

reported... again

Answer 10

untie our hands.

Too many restrictions for us and none for the enemy.

BTW, Vietnam was a failure of politics not a military failure. The military kicked butt.
