The West can easily do that, but we can't fix their shithole countries. Tried it. It didn't go well.Did we? Or did we try to colonize their shithole countries? It's useful to keep your talking points segregated. They don't mix well.
Quote:Yes, the military is far better trained than the US police, but all the training in the world can't prevent drone strikes from killing 90 % civilians, and if a mans family is blown up by a drone strike, what do you expect him to do other than become an extremist who now wants to work against you and join the people you are fighting?How much time you got to hear how many ways I hate drones? But...honestly, who cares if drones kill 90% civilians, and if thats terrorism. Terrrorism is just a rationalizable and thoroughly justifiable fact. Stop virtue signaling about american terrorism.
Quote:I wasn't asking what the intervention got you personally. I was referring to the USA and the other Western countries that took part in these wars. Like I've posted before, I respect your service and the sacrifice you made getting injured. Unless soldiers are going around raping people or doing what they did at Abu Ghraib, I don't hold you or anyone else responsible for doing a job.We got a big ole bill. I guess..sometimes..even nations can do things knowing that there isn't much..if anything...in it for them. Case in point, nutballs convinced the us body public that not only was there nothing in it for them, in afghanistan, the bill for satisfying our responsibilities towards others..in afghnaistan.... was simply too high. Therefore, we would walk.
Is that a bad thing....?
