Answer 2

What are ya goin' on about here buckaroo? You think America is too trigger happy? Well, you ain't met me. I oughta challenge you to a duel at sunset but you wouldn't stand a chance ag'in a varmint like me.
OK-- just kidding. I don't think we are trigger happy at all. It's not like we just fly off the handle at the slightest thing. We ALWAYS engage in diplomatic avenues BEFORE we just willie-nilly bomb someone. We only bomb when our security is threatened or the rest of the world thinks that someone has weapons of mass destruction and the number of U.N. resolutions has proven worthless. Anything beyond that is conjecture.
BTW- our weapons are tested on test ranges pardner-- not other people in other countries.
Have a great day!!!

Answer 3

there is this stupid ingredient that we do in war. We beat the daylights out of our enemy then we help them back up back. It all started in Japan as quickly as we defeated them, then via the peace treaty, allowed them to maintain their sovereign state. quickly all of our radios and later, televisions have been made in Japan. It wasn't till Nixon lost a ping pong interest with Chinas chief that issues all started having a clean label on them. Kim Un believes what his father advised him, in case you threaten the U. S. they provides you with unfastened foodstuff, gas, scientific factors and monetary help. So he's gettiing a sprint earlier to the threats his father did, and China, who agreed to guard the North from unprovoked assaults, now sees provocation, and the prospect that in the event that they step as much as help the North they may be hit and hit stressful. Threatening war is an previous trick, and the older it gets, the extra worn it gets. the U. S. is waiting for the "positioned up or close up" 2nd from the North, which will end the communicate in a foul way for them.

US forces are switching tactics in Iraq to take a less confrontational approach to civilians in response to criticism from British military commanders that they have been too tough.
American commanders are ordering marines and soldiers manning checkpoints or travelling in convoys to be less trigger-happy. Instead of firing into the air or at civilians to warn them off as they approach checkpoints or convoys in cars, troops nervous about suicide bombers are being encouraged to use strobe lights and other means to signal that they should slow down or back off. Troops are also being told to be less rough during searches.
Lieutenant-General Peter Chiarelli, commander of day-to-day operations in Iraq, has sent his commanders articles from the British press that criticised US forces for being unnecessarily tough.
A spokeswoman for the US-led coalition forces in Baghdad yesterday refused to confirm the new approach was being adopted: "This falls under rules of engagement and is completely classified."

But Gen Chiarelli told the New York Times from Baghdad: "I don't think it hurts us to take a look at it, and ask some tough questions about how we are perceived and how we act as soldiers here."

He added: "It falls in line with what I'm trying to do in urging a higher level of understanding and cultural sensitivity."

There have been persistent complaints from the British military and diplomatic corps since the immediate aftermath of the invasion of Iraq in 2003 that the US approach to policing is too heavy handed when compared with the relaxed British approach in the south of the country.

US forces have remained on high alert, whereas British forces scale their responses up or down according to the current assessment of risk.

In January this year the criticism came to a head when a serving British officer, Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster, said US tactics alienated Iraqis and exacerbated problems for the coalition. In an article in Military Review, he said US officers displayed cultural ignorance, self-righteousness, and unproductive management.

Gen Chiarelli, who took over his new post in January, has established a reputation for thinking beyond the simple use of force. He said: "We risk the chance of creating an insurgent, of creating somebody who gets so disgusted with the quote unquote occupiers that they get off on the wrong side."

Answer 9

people are trigger happy. It's the way of this world

Answer 10

They're trigger-happy because they have the power to be. they are the world's only remaining superpower and so that gives them the power to throw their weight around and attack whoever they want.

Plus having a jackass in the White House doesn't help matters.
