Korean War ( The real M.A.S.H. ) 10/15

@labartic so you are suggesting that American lives lost in fighting communism is worse than Korean lives destroyed and mass murdered by Communists?

I am suggesting the US government was not created to send Americans around the world to die for the freedom of anyone else.

It was created to protect the common good of the American people. Not the Koreans, or Iraqis, or Afghans. Its up to the people of those countries to determine their own destiny and government.

If someone feels so strongly about helping foreigners, then move their, get a rifle, and fight. Dont send me or my family to die in some foreign land for someone else.

@labartic Yes, but the United States is the only country with the capacity and will to help oppressed people around the world. Even though it is not in constitution to do so, it is the right thing to do. Thanks to the marshall plan my Country Norway was able to fend off Communism and build ourself up. If it havent been for USA providing our liberal worker party with trade and aid they would have stayed in Comintern and my country would have endures 60 years of Communism. Thank you America!

So anytime the government thinks going to war or giving our money away to someone else is the right thing to do, we have to do it? Who gets to decide whats right?

The president? Congress? We all know they are all crooks and liars.

Democracy is a bad form of government, but it is the best form of government so far tried. So yes both the President, Senate, Congress and the supreme court decides whats right. And even if they happen to be crooks and liars, it is still the right thing. Why? Because its the best form governance to date.

No it isnt. As Thomas Jefferson said, Democracy is simply mob rule, the 51% voting to take away the rights of 49%.

What the US has is a republican form of government. It is stated in the Constitution as such. Go read about the declaration of independence, individual rights, etc

What people dont realize is that war is a racket, there are people who make a living off of selling war machines and weapons, banks have a hand in it too because they lend the money for the weapons and war, then lend money at interest to rebuilld the infrastructure and make more wars. The communist and capitalist elite rulers play chess with peoples lives. They think they are Gods, and consider people to be slaves. The same banks run both communism and capitalism to manipulate society.

The reason why America backed koreans and vietnam is because communism was expanding too fast, and at that time i think people were scared that communism would have taken over the world unless we fought back.

Yeah, wasn't that true aswell?
