I hope when someone conquers you, you will embrace it!
Surely conquering something is good, if it is not you getting conquered.
The crusaders did a lot of conquering, your right, it is a shame, I want rivers of blood!!
America has one of the largest militaries in the world... with the most nuclear weapons in the world... and the most footholds off of our soil.
I really am not concerned. And I am fucking sick of half-assed wars. Either bring conquering back in full force... or fucking shred this wasted military to a reasonable level. I can't be a patriot for america until it does either of these things.
So because you had the "luck" to be born in the US with protection from being conquered it's ok. But if you had the "luck" to be born in Iraq you would be against conquering?
They have to portray their wars as half-assed because the public wouldn't condone straight out conquering, even though that is what they are doing. So they tell us things like FREEDOM, and WMD, and evil terrorists will sneak into your bed and rape your wife.
So if the US just started saying, we want your oil, and we want to keep oil trading in dollars, and the reserve currency as the dollar, so we are going to bomb and kill thousands of innocent people, in these countries to get what we want, nananaaaaa we have bigger tanks.
You would be a patriot of that?
How about we shred the military beast, and make it about Defense, like the name implies, even the government did public relations, why do you think they changed it from the Department of War; Department of Defense sounds less aggressive. It's all about how the public perceives things.
