I had this discussion with my dad about how my cousin from China is so much smarter than me, even if she is a year older than me and that I'm 2 math levels higher than normal grade level. He tells me that Americans just plain suck, nowadays.

He points out that the American military has been defeated in all their wars except the Gulf War 1. Gulf War 2, the recent Iraq report states that America is losing the war. On the Vietnam War, it was a total military disaster. They've split up Korea and their aims for reunification isn't coming any time soon. They've split up Germany, but was settled back together. And they've created hostilities between the PRC and the ROC.

My dad also states if it wasn't for the American technologies such as fighter jets, tanks, etc. They wouldn't have ground in Iraq, but be losing fatally.

I just wanted to make a little pinpoint in seeing if my dad is true for his facts, and does the American military lack in battles?


Again, I'm not here to violate any rules here (if I did, I'm sorry. I wasn't reading enough), but just asking some opinions about this.

Sorry, but my dad gets his information just by reading the newspaper, Singtao Daily.

Political restraints? This is war, not peacekeeping.

As the overall spirit of this thread is so much against the forum rules and policy, I have no choise than to close this thread. For general rule, if you wish to discuss matters, even as flamable as this, do it with little more respect...in professional discussion, nothing sucks...
