400,000 U.S. military died in WW2 because our government didn't get it, not understanding Germany and Japan. We even had Hitler as man of the year in 1939. In the South Pacific we placed an embargo on Japan which gave the green light for war and millions died.
We now are being proactive keeping a presence all around the world since then and haven't had the 50-70 million estimated total lives lost in a WWar like we did in WW2 and you just think it's for sport? We have no other reason for doing what we do as a country huh? We just like to bomb people apparently?
Disagree with our policy and be a smart *** about it if you like, but the carnage is nothing compared to what that generation went through.
Were we rushing the beaches in WW2 hopping from island to island in the South pacific being ripped apart by the Japanese for sport? Was our government doing this for sport too?
