Ever since Vietnam the U.S' strategy is "well, if we kill/bomb them enough we'll win!" but it has been a flawed strategy. Everyone now acts as if us dropping the huge MOBA will in some way help to defeat ISIS but we all know it doesn't do a thing. All it does is empower more people to join up and terrorize. Same deal with Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Despite all of those we killed and bomed during the Iraq/Afghanistan war to this day they're still around and are basically "LOL why should we care?" and always manage to more than easily find new recruits.

Why has nothing been learned from Vietnam? I wish we just had absolutely nothing to do with that god forsaken part of the world and just focus on what really matters such as giving Americans adequate health insurance and improving our infrastructure and schools and social rights. Instead we focus on bombing people in caves that pose no threat to us. This is precisely why the sooner the patriarchy gets demolished the better the world will be. At least women are capable of coming up with solutions other than "let's just bomb everything and hope it all works out".

It may be YOU (grasshopper!!) that didn't learn from Vietnam.

Can I ask how old you are?

Actually if Americans are itching so badly to make an influence on the world, they should concentrate on building up these middle Eastern countries they have been bombing, on helping them get back on their feet, on educating their population so as to free it from the Islamic ignorance. Or better yet, just leave the rest of the world alone. It can do just fine on its own.

All of which if women were in charge would happen. But unlike women, men think their egos and pride are actually relevant and when they don't get their way choose to kill others.

Americans never learn. We have too much hubris for our own good.

Going by Americas track record its a culture that generally likes war,its the nature of the beast.unfortunately America has slipped from being a protector of other countries freedom against oppression to just the world bully,a veritable thug of a nation.The recent issue on that United Airline flight is a good example,do it our way or we'll beat you up.

Better to just leave folks alone. The damn world is tired of our shenanigans. Frankly, I can understand why.
