they can't stand loosing their own soldiers but are willing to slaughter countless non americans to save their own.
ie. *black hawk down mission* they lost how many soldiers? less than 20
how many samalians were killed? over 1000
this is one of the us's military disasters too
don't forget the two atom bombs, killing tens of thousands with just one bomb. japan lost as much people in those two bombings as maybe 1/4 all the americans lost in wwii
First off, commandwolf, it wasn't "The Black Hawk Down" mission, it was "The Battle of Mogadishu" so don't believe everything you see in the movies.
Second, the whole operation was to capture 1-2 military warlords that were taking food the US was shipping and hoarding it or selling it for weapons/money.
Third, the Somalians began the whole confrontation by firing at our helicopters. Remember the part of the movie where they tied that soldier to the vehicle and dragged him through the streets? That really happened. I'd rather 1000 of those savages die than one of our soldiers. And we lost 17 soldiers when we were just trying to help them out in the first place.
As for the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they bombed us first. We retaliated. I don't feel any sense of shame or regret for what we did. Over 1000 Navy sailors drowned in the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Arizona so I still don't feel bad for the after-effect of the atomic bombs in Japan either.
As for why other countries hate America? I don't know, but if it is because of us sticking our noses where they don't belong and helping people I say we get our noses the hell out. I mean we can send troops to Iraq and help them build a in a week but we still can't help Loiusiana after the hurricanes.
As for the people talking about racism. It isn't that bad, don't blame the white people, and if you guys don't like it so much why do you stay?
