Yeah, you kinda do:

That third world country, being well-armed, did a very respectable job of kicking the US military's ass.
Admittedly because of massive failure at the highest levels of command.

And you're absolutely correct. If the highest levels of command had decided to send what was needed to do what he wanted us to do, that third world country wouldn't have stood a chance.

The people involved in Blackhawk Down, by and large, wanted to continue the battle. Nice to know you consider them "stupid." And, of course, one nuke would have all but destroyed Vietnam. Does that mean we didn't get run out of there, either?

Well, as you're well aware (don't think we don't see through your tactics of claiming we said what we did not) I was referring to the higher levels of command. And I stand by the statement that it would have been stupid to stay there. It was not our fight. There was no reason for our guys to die for a fight that was not ours.

This is beautiful. When I mention Teddy Kennedy, I'm told it's ancient history, but you go all the way back to the Civil war, when they were using muskets and muzzle-loaders, and relate that to today's weapons. Outstanding job!
|
I don't recall ever griping at you for mentioning Kennedy. Wanna point out where I did that?

You can keep making insulting arguments or you can try to make an argument that makes sense. The civil war was the last time in history when the rebellion against the government had pretty much the same firepower as the government, and it didn't work even then. Now any rebellion against the government is going to be horrendously outgunned, outtrained, and outfunded. There is NO possible way for a rebellion to defeat the government the way you say it will.
