    War.... What is it good for? American Deaths
    we went into Iraq and Afghanistan in big part due to 9-11 and the attacks on American soil that day

    we lost almost 3,000 lives on that horrible day

    in Iraq almost 4,500 soldiers have died and over 32,000 have been wounded

    almost 2,500 deaths in Afghanistan and over 20,000 wounded


    let's hope we really think through the upcoming conflicts over seas

        You are a square. all those dead american soldiers are just slaughter house sheeps to feed the americann economic growth.
        The American of wealth and privilege is hooked on war, without regular and ever-stronger doses of war it can no longer function properly, that is, yield the desired profits. Right now, this addiction, this craving is being satisfied by means of created conflict in middle east, which also happens to be dear to the hearts of the oil barons.

        Without war, American will be poor will not be top of the world.

        Here is a very good in depth article on why america needs war to survive

          Trump was probably a dumb ass and ddidnt realize how bad it would be for the economy if there is no war...but the late developments and his back track shows that someone taught him how american economy works.

            War.... What is it good forEdwin Starr




            War, huh, yeah
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing
            War, huh, yeah
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing
            Say it again, why'all

            War, huh, good god
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing, listen to me

            Oh, war, I despise
            'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives

            War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
            When their sons go to fight
            And lose their lives

            I said, war, huh good god, why'all
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing say it again

            War, whoa, lord
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing, listen to me


            it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
            (War) friend only to the undertaker
            Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
            The point of war blows my mind
            War has caused unrest
            Within the younger generation
            Induction then destruction

            Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why'all
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing
            Say it, say it, say it
            War, huh
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing listen to me

            it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
            (War) it's got one friend that's the undertaker
            Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
            Made him disabled, bitter and mean
            Life is much to short and precious
            To spend fighting wars these days
            War can't give life
            It can only take it away

            Oh, war, huh good god why'all
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing say it again
            whoa, lord
            What is it good for
            Absolutely nothing listen to me


            it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
            (War) friend only to the undertaker
            Peace, love and understanding
            Tell me, is there no place for them today
            They say we must fight to keep our freedom
            But lord knows there's got to be a better way

            Oh, war, huh good god why'all
            What is it good for you tell me
            Say it, say it, say it, say it

            huh good god why'all
            What is it good for
            Stand up and shout it nothing

              What people fail to realize is that the war is going to be brought to us. We have threats from ISIS, North Korea, and Iran just to name a few. So, would you rather start it on their soil or ours? The fight is on, and you all better realize it. It's a war we must win or the world as we know it will not exist. We cannot afford to wait any longer. Stop bashing Trump, he's the best President we've had since Reagan, possibly the best president ever.

                its true

                i'm square and would rather be poor.... if it would bring back my cousin David, my brother in law Gene, my friend Graham that I played college basketball with, my mother's tennis partner's son Kyle.

                i'm sure many people that lost sons, daughters, wives, dads, ect would feel the same

                also some Humans would maybe agree

                  I don't know

                  was ISIS and Al Qada stronger before after 2001?

                  if We got rid of Assad, for instance who does that benefit?

                  Isis and Al Quada right?

                    Big business my man. Winner gets all the loot. Arms producers make tons of money. Same guys in government that declare war probably own the manufacturing companies.

                          The point of what the U.S is now doing is to protect our boarders and security. the only way to do that is to get rid of the threats that exist. That's exactly what we are doing. Whether or not this helps the economy or not is a moot point. If the enemy wins, there will be no economy, or country for that matter. This is very serious right now and peeps better wake up.

                            Great post. People fail to realize this. Everyone bashes George W for going to Iraq. That was the best decision ever because we are fighting those fukers over there and not here. And I'm getting pissed about people bashing Trump saying that he changed because he promised to put America first. Guess what he is by taking the fight to these fuks instead of waiting for them to attack us. He is keeping America safe and I honestly feel safer with him in office than pussy boy Obama.

                              "Disposable Heroes"

                              Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
                              No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
                              Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
                              Victim of what said should be
                              A servant 'til I fall

                              Soldier boy, made of clay
                              Now an empty shell
                              Twenty-one, only son
                              But he served us well
                              Bred to kill, not to care
                              Do just as we say
                              Finished here
                              Greetings, Death
                              He’s yours to take away

                              Back to the front
                              You will do what I say, when I say
                              Back to the front
                              You will die when I say, you must die
                              Back to the front
                              You coward
                              You servant
                              You blind man

                              Barking of machinegun fire does nothing to me now
                              Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
                              More a man, more stripes you bare, glory-seeker trends
                              Bodies fill the fields I see
                              The slaughter never ends

                              Soldier boy, made of clay

                              You blind man

                              Why, am I dying?
                              Kill, have no fear
                              Lie, live off lying
                              Hell, hell is here

                              I was born for dying

                              Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
                              Had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
                              Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
                              Left to die with only friend
                              Alone I clench my gun

                              Soldier boy, made of clay

                                oh I thought Trump decided to launch some bottle rockets at Assad's planes because he was disgusted at Assad using chem weapons on his own people...

                                but it was actually pre-emptive shit to protect us here????

                                    He launched that attack not only to protect Syrian civilians from barbaric actions, but to let everyone know we will no longer put up with tyrants as leaders. Yes, this does protect us. What if in the future a tyrant launches Chem weapons on our soil? It could happen, if we keep electing people like Obama.

                                      yet it didn't...... for 8 years


                                      it could happen if we elect muppets for presidents

                                      it could happen if we elect millionaires for presidents

                                      it could happen if we elect celebritites for presidents

                                      it could happen if we elect john wayne for president post mortem

                                      it could happen if we elect women for presidents

                                      it could happen if we elect anyone right?

                                      all we can factually say is that it

                                      DIDN'T happen with 8 years of Obama right?

                                                Unions are gone because of their greed. Rising wages meant rising prices everywhere. Business could no longer afford to pay the wages and demands without socking it to consumers. Granted, there needs to be a balance though negotiation, but unions ripped their members off. They caused their own demise.

                                                  First, neither Iran, NK or ISIS have the capabilities to bring war to American soil. The only countries that could do that are China, Russia and probably India, with only Russia and China having any chance at inflicting serious damage.

                                                  Many people have drank the kool-aid that these strikes project power, they do not. What have we proven in the last 3 months that wasn't already known? Every country in the world knows that whether W, Obama or Trump is in the WH, America could decimate them. Now we're simply going back to GOP politics which is to simply get the war machine rolling again, keep fear high, make people rich, keep the defense budget sky high so politicians buddies can win ridiculous bids on contracts, etc.....

                                                  But stop with ISIS, NK and Iran, they have never threatened our borders nor could they. Neither does China or Russia.

                                                        I wonder if any of the righties think the same republicans who stopped Obama from confronting Syria are also pussies or didn't Fox News explain to these absolute dopes that these pieces of shit were the real reason Obama did nothing. They got in the way of anything positive Obama wanted to do just to be the assholes they are. The power hungry greedy fuks real people believe they are. Real people who watch multiple news stations and not some toxic junk to lead dopes down dopeville

Business could no longer afford to pay the wages and demands without socking it to consumers. Granted, there needs to be a balance though negotiation, but unions ripped their members off. They caused their own demise.
