But if you mean one of the States being invaded by a foreign power, yeah, you'd have to go back a few years. It comes from having a good navy.
It comes from being surrounded by neighbors CRUSHED IN PREVIOUS CENTURIES who aren't going to allow anyone to tromp through their backyard to get to us BECAUSE WE OWN THE ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY Invading solely from sea or air is extremely difficult. (but we should certainly try to force the Americans to educate themselves and pass health care reform).
That's true. You'd probably have to go back to the 1800s to find a war where we were being invaded on American soil by a foreign power.
It all depends on what "defending America" means. If it refers to ideology like the justifications we have used for other wars than no. If it is because we were attacked or there was an imminent attack then probably. It would have to be a country attacking us and not some "suspected" group of citizens. We used the justification of the possibility of communism spreading to fight the Vietnam war and that really did not have anything to do with us except a fear of "communism" spreading. Fear of thought is no reason to kill people.
You mean brainwashing by the U.S, media?
"10. Myth: If it is not mentioned in the media, then it is not real. So the CIA’s policy of mass mind control and collective brainwashing can’t be real because the TV news channels and other media outlets never mention it.
Fact: To a large degree, the CIA and the mainstream media are one and the same. The U.S. government’s state media is not like the Chinese, Russian, Cuban, or Iranian state media, but it is still a state media. The only difference is there is the illusion in America that there is a separation between the private sphere of news coverage and the official sphere of power. But in reality, there is no separation. Officials in the highest positions of power in Washington manage the news in America, direct the national conversation, cover up uncomfortable truths, and set the official standards for public debate. They are totalitarian thugs who masquerade as defenders of freedom and providers of security."

I don't understand what you are getting at. Are you saying I am close to the truth or I am wrong? Please explain.
Didn't I do that in 1968?!Presuming you are an American, would you go to war to defend the USA?
Lots of 'smart' guys were beside me humping ALICE when I was a 'lowly' grunt. Many a college degree walked point. The very low attrition rate in the 'smart' military jobs, called MOSs for short, means they fill up fast and stay filled.
The much higher attrition rate in the infantry means lots of bodies are needed and 'smart' guys are not going to be set aside until an analyst has a car wreck. Fighting in ground combat mode can ALWAYS use smart guys to outwit the badguys. If you had any grunts as friends you'd be amazed how helpful your 'smarts' would be.
You could be your unit's McGiver! :mrgreen:
That's what it's known as. Knowing the Germans, the official title of the project is a long nonsensical jumble of letters.Was that the German LR bomber project's name? I can never remember.
They should have left Russia alone, and probably should have looked into getting better allies. Oh well, sucks to be them.I did say "until after securing Europe". Hitler expected to have Europe sewn up by the end of 1942. Too bad for him the Russian weather didn't cooperate in '41 - early '42.
Japan also had a LR bomber project, don't remember it's name either. The goal for them was the west coast using biological or chemical bombs.
When were we at risk of physical invasion in WWII?
Pearl Harbor was an attack, not an invasion.
Japan did bomb us. Pearl Harbor.
A successful attack that allowed the invasion of several US territories in the South Pacific.That was not an invasion but an attack.
That was not an invasion but an attack.
It comes from being surrounded by friendly neighbors who aren't going to allow anyone to tromp through their backyard to get to us. Invading solely from sea or air is extremely difficult.
Of course all the marxists are saying no...
They were our allies during ww2.
Hitler would have had you shot for even saying such a thing.Germany and Italy were also marxist nations during the Second World War.
Hitler would have had you shot for even saying such a thing.
Mussolini may have understood your mistake.

Only the American far right misidentifies their European soul-mates like that...
