Can America ever win another war?
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Can America ever win another war?
Wars are not won on the battlefield. They are won or lost by the will and resolve of the people of the countries who fight them. Unfortunately the U.S. has been so manipulated by the leftist media and by communist organizations, such as International ANSWER and Code Pink, that it has lost its will and resolve to defend itself, and to win wars.
American has a 60 year record of failing to prevail against strategically significant enemies. Our last victory was World War II.
In 1951 we went to Korea to stop the spread of communism. We left after three years because we lost interest and our will to win. We entered into a truce that today has possible nuclear consequences for this country.
10 years later we went to Vietnam for the same cause – stop the advance of communism, only to withdraw unbeaten, but certainly unvictorious, after 10 years. America simply lost the will to prevail. Millions of innocent Vietnamese were killed in the carnage that followed our exit.
We did vigorously rebound and we demonstrated renewed prowess in the First Gulf War, however, we did not have a decisive victory.
As we now see that Congress is ready to give up once again, it is not unreasonable to ask: Are Americans capable of winning real wars? (more…)
