The Vietnam War. Why did s many Americans feel they needed to fight Russia instead of China? in that God forsaken place. Canadians don't think that way.:biker::2thumbsup:
why do you assume that they did? when france withdrew from the region of what it then called indochina, there were american and international corporate interests in the region and america's fanatical anti-maoism. kissenger was perpetuating mccarthiest ideological fanatacism in the face of its waining popularity. kinnidy was attempting to limit u.s. military involvement, though it was clear our so called military advisors, were in fact boots on the ground. i don't know who supposedly wanted us there, other then corporate economic interests and their puppets in congress. it is true, many of the generation of world war two survivors will still conned by mccarthyism. but very few of the generation of their children, my own generation, and the generation corporate media labled hippies were. and we were the largest demographic in the country. but we were also, at the time, too young to have control of congress. whatever anyone who wanted us there thought they were fighting. it was for ideological fanatacism, gratuitously, plain and simple. brutal, needless, and shameful.
Umm.. I don't have anything to say about the content of this thread, but, I just don't want people thinking Toronto represents Canada or that their opinion matters. I mean, seriously, the rest of Canada hates them.
the vast majority of americans knew perfectly well we had no GOOD reason to be there. like nearly, if not completely, every conflict america has engaged in since kicking hitler's ass, the one good thing america ever did militarilly that i know of, our military has been used by corporate economic interests, which could care less about america or any country, to kill people who didn't need killing, so they could destroy their environments and rob their civil liberties, all for the persuit of little green pieces of paper.
