Tommy, this is the Apache helicopter footage we saw here a few weeks ago, not executions out of a bunker.

Seems it's backfiring at last.

Wow. Guess that this illustrates the power of context in propaganda! I'm sure that if they showed pictures of dead Iraqis or Americans killing Iraqis from Gulf War I somewhere within an article about "American atrocities" that those too would be skewed for such purposes.

Last night was the first that I had seen of this footage. Still seems very graphic to me...

I agree that it is backfiring for sure.

Correct Chacal. I saw saw this footage from the war at least a year, maybe 2 years ago it seems.

Vietnam was a silly idea, so of course Britain didn't send troops. Anyway you had fucked us over in the suez crisis so we owed you a fucking over, then we were square again. As for the French having them on your side would be more dangerous than being on your own, the cheese munching surrender monkeys.

When Europe pays off it's war debts to the U.S., then we'll be even.....

Its moot anyways, why would we got to war with Germany and France?

It would be a good way for Boy Scouts to earn their Eagle badges.

If you "don't" remember russion "not" supporting us that means you remember them supporting us.

Then you said:

I never said they DID support us, I just thought they were neutral on the subject.

Except for opposition, 'neutral' is the epitome of lack of support.

French. Those guys will never get a break. Sure they are cowards but they got it pretty bad in Vietnam also. The Khemer Rouge and such. The French were in Vietnam before us and bailed because of the no win situation. The French Foreign Legion has always produced some serious recruits also. So give them props there.

As far as Russia. Look how long they played in Afghanistan and got no where. We go in and the gig is up in a few weeks. We are the only true superpower. As far as China. Sure they have allot of bodies and nukes. But we have something they don't. The Navy. Every branch of our military is a machine. Israel is known for their Air Force but I haven't heard anything about their ground troops or Navy if they even have one. We would whip China's ass by just staying off the coast and whacking them. Russia you say. They have so much ground to mobilize over it takes them days/weeks to get a head of steam. And since the country broke up they have nowhere the ass they use to. England you say. Eh. Not to worried. Most unlikely to ever war with us anyway. If the United States chose to they could steam and I mean steam roll over any country we want to. If we weren't so PC we would have made Iraq a parking lot. We loss Vietnam? Bullshit. Rules and more rules. China threatened us if we got to high. We could have made North Vietnam a garden if we chose to. Problem is we hold off all the time.

Fuck that Britain already paid off their debt, talk to the French, I am sure they must owe us some cash as well.

Man, I don't like this US vs. Europe stuff. We were pretty close allies up until recently, then it seems the bottom dropped out. I think alot of it has to do with the formation of the EU and the fact that it wanted to flex some muscle in the face of the US. It's unfortunate. I have nothing against Europe, Canada, or even Russia. In fact, I think that we should work harder to be better allies with all of them, but I'm not sure who's the culprit here. I think we all are.

Yeah but the only reason they were in Vietnam was because they wanted their colony back after the war and so brutally crushed the fledgling democratic country of Vietnam which had been founded in the vacuum after the Japanese left after the second world war. They did this with US consent by the way, what defendors of democracy you were then, and you wonder why the Vietnamese weren't keen on democracy...
