  • Napoleonic era walking assault tactics against modern artillery and machine guns was nothing less than criminal. Commanders who asked men to attack in those situations should have faced firing squads.

  • acr08807: plus if they did make a nuke the material they have is not pure enough for said use nor do they have the ability to do so. Hell they asked the americans to do the Purifing state side and then ship it over to them, but that would make to much sense to the americans. know if they did find a way to make the device would be small in effect as they would be learning from scratch. N.Korea's 1st bomb was a failure it was 1/3 the strength of the americans first bomb.

  • acr08807: its more if they wanted a bomb they in theary could have one, but I will point out that they have no means of delivering it and would be suicide if they did. All they want is the same ability that most of the west has is to power there country with nuclear energy. (on the china point) China is there allie and are quite content to let them be UNLESS the USA or Britton or Isreal Attacks them, then you will see the shit hit the fan...

  • @Nmccarville Let me guess--they're five years away, right? Everyone's always five years away until they actually test a nuclear weapon. But you make a great point--why don't we just encourage China to invade Iran? They can get rid of the nuclear program and keep the oil, and we'll stay the hell out of it all.

  • @Nmccarville I hate Lindan Johnson.

  • boss180888: Just blame the corporations as they where the ones holding the purse strings. Republican and Demacrat are nothing more the Symbols for the Symbol minded ment to distract from what is going on behind them. In MY mind JFK was the last elected Presidant untill Lindan Johnson had him Assassinated ( because he was going to shut down the Federal Reserve which would have been bad for the Corporations ), every one else have been bought and paid for by the big corporations

  • And for those of your with a brain check this out compare what Nazi Germany was doing BEFORE WW2 (ignore his Genicide Plan) and then compare what the USA has been doing in the last 10 or twenty (the USA works a bit slower then Har Hitler)

  • unfortunatly you may all see the rise of WW3, if the USA, Brittian, Isreal attack Iran. While the great danger does not come from Iran, but from China (major nuclear power) and Russia (major nuclear power) maybe even Pakistand. this is a conflict that we all should be worried about. As Iran as NO nukes it as the potential to make them down the road but at this time they are still trying to figure out how to make fuel rodes (which is only 20-30% urinium) for nuclear power plants.

  • the Governments should strip those officers of any awards given during these times. Later they got their acts together, but their failure to recognise loses for nothing ! ! is shameful. Even the Government of the time, they all should be named an shamed ! !

  • Never Again.

  • @realityright General Douglas Haig especially
