Lessons never learned about wars

Why we need a carrier that is driven by TWO nuclear power generators?

Why we need to increase our offense capability when our capability is more than the rest of the world combined? We've the capability to destroy the entire world many times.

Have we learned from Vietnam war (and from the French who failed before us), Afgan. (and from the Russians who failed before us)...?

If the Middle East wars is about oil, shame on us. If it is about modern Crusade, shame on those who misinterpret the religion teachings. If it is about our leaders showing their power, shame on them. If it is about our offense companies, shame on them. If it is due to the Jews controlling our congress, shame on them too.

If we sent the children of our leaders to the front line, we would not have any war. Wars produce orphans, single-parent families, families with disabled veterans physically and mentally... When they return from the wars, do they become heroes with medals costing $20 each or the burden of the society? Be your own judge.

Fighting for ideologies is silly. Fighting for others' freedom appears to be noble but it is really stupid. If they do not want to fight for their own freedom, why should we? Ask any Iraqi and get an honest answer. I rest my case.

The generation before mine suffered from WW2. The US have not really experienced wars in their home land and most US citizens do not understand the suffering from wars. Most of our new soldiers do not know what the Middle East wars are all about. We cannot rob their chances to enjoy their best time of their lives and be educated.

Without wars, we will have a prolonged bull market that will benefit all. We need to protect us from terrorists and our interests overseas. However, we need to calculate the cost/suffering/life lost and benefits like any investment or project, even it is not possible to appraise a price on a life.
