They failed in Korea
They failed in Vietnam
They have failed in Iraq
They were humiliated by Iran
They only came into WW2 when the hard work had been done and claim that they won it
They kill more of their own (and allies) than the enemy kill
So why do they think they are so great?

Rab333 please note - your lot only won the war of independance because the French intervened on your side.
I remember an old WW2 story (told to me by a German) that when the RAF flew overhead the Germans ducked, when the Luftwaffe flew the Allies ducked but when the USAF flew overhead Everybody ducked!

Indeed the truth, hurts and the US is in denial. I seriouslly wonder, why is it that when people say they going into the military to fight for freedom and slaughting people including (women and children), they say we fight for freedom, when really they are liars who fight for money and reasources. Seriouslly, why else do people go to the military, yeah that's what I thought. I have also of friends who went, with the idea we are going to free those people, and if you got to know them they keep talking about using weapons against people??? now what kind of message are you trying to send are you for peace or destruction??? now, democracy is not evil, I want to clerafy that, but it has to be done fair and right. This means no changing and truning exmaple Palestine, You see the Fatah (secular party) and the Hamas (Islamic party) were in the race and did you know the Christian Palestinians voted and even said they are more safer and protected with the Islamic party than that of the secluar?? wonder why that was not on the news in the US. Also, Hamas won and they have not got to do one single thing and are getting blamed for everything. I persoanlly think secular party was good, but the truth is the people and spoken and wanted a change for the better, and still you see this BS where the secular party is in charge. It is almost like the Chinese saying they will decide who the next Dalai Lama and all the other High Lama incranationed persons are. And this is sick and twisted, if you want to know the truth you have to search for it. If you want to the falsehoods, well you can easly get feed with that by most of the medias and radios. the sick idealolgy of killing and reinstabling peace to make themselves look like heros and new partners. Also how many and I mean know many Christians do you know like in Sudan??? let me lairs, how many??? have you gone there??? oh yeah, the Sudanese are being forced by the other nations to speak another languange except for theres??? When the Official and the Sudanese language is what??? yeah, Arabic how dumb to people have to be to not to reseach and look up things.
response to:
We are not good at war. We just have a dumb president who think he can do what he wants. As far as your History... the only thing you have right is Vietnam.
No, he does have his history right. Not many know or still lie
about winning in Vietname, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon.
Why is it that many never, and I mean never even thank the Canadian troops in WW2??? I'm not Canadian but, I have to respect them for what they did. They were one of the first to rush on the beach of France??? and this is known only to a small number of people who study history.
also the part, of the Dalai lama and the other high lama incartions thing I said, go look it up. Also if you think I'm joking because, I'm not. The current Dalai Lama said, yes the Chinese will try to decide who the next Dalai Lama might be but, he said his incarnation will not be under occupied land (China of Tibet), instead of a free land. Also the Chinese have there own choices such as the who is the High Lama of the Karmapa Lama:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karmapa_controversy
and also they also have a canidate for the Panchen Lama:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panchen_Lama
notice they decide wether who is the religious leader and while the Dalai Lama choices the one other than that of the Chinese.

Americans think they'd be "good at" war because they DO have the most advance military technology. A lot of American dollars have been invested into advanced weaponry. American thinktanks admit the military needs to improve urban warfare capability, hand to hand combat. There was hope to win wars by pushing a few buttons, but it hasn't worked out except for Hiroshima.

Do they think they are good at war or, do they just like being involved in a conflict to show how much money they have spent on new technology . The problem is they dont train to be soldiers like most other countries, its all mouth and trousers. You can put a thumbs down if you want, but thems the brakes

Because they just are. They are so so strong now that they had a head start with slaves that their number 1. Just live your life and do not worry about the war. They only tell you what they want you to know. I do not believe nothing about the war or wars at all. History speaks for itself.

They think that they are right and that everyone in the world wants to live the American way of life & by going to war they believe they can bully them into that way of life. This is because most Americans have never been out of America or experienced other cultures. If they did, they would realise that other cultures can be really good and that maybe their own lifestyles (including major obesity, high crime levels, lots of gun crimes etc) aren't quite so wonderful as they might have thought.
I have met Americans living in Singapore (where I lived for a while) who have had their eyes opened & tell everyone they are Canadian 'coz they are embarrased to be Americans.

I don't think that anyone is good at war...Wars bring nothing but heartache and misery.Death and dist ruction.....Although i do agree with you that the Americans are bad four friendly fire but then so are the Brits.We have killed a few of out own as well.....
What you have to remember that we are all in this together and hopefully it will never go back to world war...The way the world is at the moment with the conception of everyman for himself, it would be one bloody battle..........Peace is the only solution......

Because the people that make the decisions to go to war never have to fight themselves (or anyone in their family), so they have no real worries about how many die or get injured.
What the world may see as a 'defeat' is still a victory for them because they have made a lot of money out of it.
Appalling but true.

Ah, to listen to the bluster of another supposed expert! They, lacking wisdom and experience, express nothing but self-inflated opinions to rile the hoi polloi with self-indulgent platitudes.
