Why did Germany go to war ?

can we all not just get along and love one another? i hate society because we can't.

To whom are you speaking, please?

it may be easy to say now but germany had a long history of jewish and russian terrorism which had plagued and pilfered the population for centuries. the terrorists has hidden cells of operatives which would target german businesses and industries for hostile takeover. the jews, russians, gypsies, poles, etc. had to be exterminated for the good of gemany. it was tough work, but necessary in the was against jewish, russian, etc. terrorism. in the long run, everything worked out for the best. take a llok at germany and all of wetsren and eastern europe today. the jews are virtually all gone, the problem is nil, not even known about today. there are no more leeches on every street corner, and terrorist jews ready to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the dying. you must agree that things are pretty good in europe now. much better that the u.s. for sure. you can thank adolph hitler.

same america bull shit. talk big but can't back it up. you chicken hawks roost away while the poor white trash and ghetto kids die for nothing in iraq just so you can wave the flag and brag about having the 1000 yard stare. we know your type. it's a shame to have a nation with so many idiots. your'e losing the war now. it's u.s. veterans day soon. you can go see the dumb asses who got their asses kicked and the skulls bashed in vietnam, iraq, japan, france, etc. the poor dumb bastards. more being planted today because of wimp bush and dickless cheney. you americans really suck.

True as daylight. The Americans only make great movies. They can't fight, as we can witness in Iraq. They hide in their humvees and strikers, and have to bomb from airplanes. They are too afraid to fight man to man, The Americans have lost the war. Time to leave.

If America lost the war, what is the score?

My nephew can tell you!

Oh, come on now - that’s a bit harsh.

I’m sure the Americans would fight perfectly well if they had an identifiable enemy to fight.

Historically, having the world’s richest economy and huge industrial resources behind them, naturally their armed forces have relied on overwhelming firepower to win battles.

One can hardly blame them for that - and it does ensure that causalities are very much reduced.

The Russians were willing to accept over 6 million military deaths to finally prevail in WW2

The Americans managed to achieve victory in both arenas with loss of a mere 291,557.

The Germans managed to kill about 25 million Russians all in all during WW2, but Stalin easily managed to beat that figure by killing 40 million of his own citizens.

No wonder Russia is one of world’s most unpopulated countries.

A few of the old SS panzer divisions would have sorted out the Iraq mess in no time - and put the fear of Christ into the whole area.

Unfortunately, the overwhelming manpower of the Soviets and the overwhelming industrial power of the US destroyed what would have been the standard bearers of a 21st century Crusade.

The idea that Germany started WWII because they were mistreated at the conclusion of WWI is a fallacy. Hitler had eyes on doing what he did regardless; Versailles gave him another excuse to pursue it, and maybe it helped create an environment for Hitler's power, but it certainly wasn't the cause. Hitler was the cause, Versailles set the stage, and a world intent on avoiding war enabled it.

As for Hitler/Bush, Iraq/WWII... people need to read a few basic history books. If you are making those sorts of comparisons you're showing an embarrassing level of ignorance. There are far more valid comparisons of the USA in 2007 to the USA of 1946, and (right or wrong, and somewhat amazingly) the USA's own motivations are probably less compromised now. WWII really DID create an American dominated world with American control of international institutions and monetary policy. The Iraq war, however you choose to define it, has simpler goals.

You can oppose the Iraq war or you can oppose it. But, you know, you should have an argument that makes some sense either way. At least _try_.

USA can't fight? You are an idiot.

Our War Fighters can win any fight. Don’t balme our War Fighters for the shortcomings of their poltical leaders.

Regardless of where you stand with Iraq, all americans should thank and respect our War Fighters and their familes.

The world seems to be very fickle when it comes to the US War Fighter. The US War Fighter had a huge impact in ending World War One and Two. I am not an expert on the Korea War, but I believe that it was the entry of the US and its effort that made it possiable to get the North Koreans to agree to the cease fire.

The US has mastered the art of winning without fighting...just like Bruce Lee said. We are smart. That's why we bring such great weapons to battle.

The U.S. is losing big time in Iraq. Only Bush keeps shrinking the green zone to make his weak troops look good. I wonder why they don't come out and fight like the Iraqis and Iranians are doing. Even the Kurds want to fight and can fight. The Kurds are going after the legendary Turks, with the most awesome military tradition and history in that half of the world. The U.S. can't get their collaborators to fight since they'll pulling out soon and will be executed as traitors if caught. Russia and China know the U.S. are a bunch of wimps who claim to have won WWII, when in fact 90% of the Europe war was between the Krauts and Russia, and 90% of the Asia war was an the Asian maimland. It's a fact that the Japs only had 200,000 troops in the Pacific Ocean, while 10,000,000 troops and civilian settlers were kicked out of China and Asia. After that China, Korean, Vietnam, kicked out the U.S. Don't forget it's Vetrans Day soon, on November 11. You can go visit the dead American pussies who got their asses kicked in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Philipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Next time you try and invade another country, remember what will happen to American pussies.

..not even worthy of a response.

Go visit the losers who died for nothing. The last good war was the Civil War, when the coward Robert E. Lee and his southern pussies were offed by the Union. Every war since then has been unjustified. 9-11 was started by the U.S. when it invaded and occupied Palestine, Pearl Harbor was started by the U.S. when it colonized China, Phillipines, bombed Tokyo, and so forth. Don't be a dupe. Read your history. If you don't believe me, join the U.S. Army and make your mother the mother of a dead stupid ass.

You're doing a brilliant job with the stupid ass part. I'm sure your mom's very proud of you.

Why hasn't this thread been deleted?

What are you doing here ? Why aren't you in the U.S. Amry in Iraq fighting 'The War Against Terrorism" ? Or are you just a Chickenhawk college Republican who spouts lies from the grossly exaggerated propaganda of Ken Burn's 'The War' and rambles on about patriotism ? You phony ass. You don't believe a word you are saying.

There's a VA cemetery near you. The cold dead homos and f****** are waiting for your visit on November 11. They want to know why Americans are pussies and can't fight. Why American soldiers abandoned them in combat and left them to be tortured and ass raped. Why America had invade another country and why they had to be tortured and killed for nothing. They want to hear from you. Go see them on November 11.

You have written so many items that are either wrong or half-truths that I don't have time to rebut each of them.

Throughout history the US War Fighter has come to the aid of other countries. They have died and risked their lives for several noble causes. All citizens of the US make time to honor and remember our veterans and their sacrifices.

Your point about Russia and China having several losses during WWII is true, but that was their type of warfare based on the type of resources that they were limited to at that time. In both the European and Pacific theaters of WWII, the US had to attack an enemy that was entrenched in a heavily fortified position (Hilter’s Atlantic Wall, Anzio, Mt Casino (sp?), etc.. Neither China nor Russia had to deal with launching large amphibious assault against these types of enemy positions. The US War Fighter has several other resources other than just manpower to leverage in their warfare.

In Korea, the US War Fighter’s involvement lead to the North Korean accepting a cease fire. You are mistaken… The US War Fighter are still in Korea.

In Iraq the US War Fighter has engaged with the enemy when they have shown themselves. It is very hard to fight an insurgent when they hide in a populated area only to plant roadside bombs and or fire rockets or mortars and run back to a populated area to hide. Which side are the cowards? The side that uses civilians as human shield or the side that moves around in clearly marked uniforms or vehicles?

Other than supply arms to the insurgents, how has Iran engaged in combat with the US?

When has the US occupied Palestine? Pearl Harbor happened because we bombed Tokyo? The US colonized China?

You are very poorly informed. You should read a history book that is endorsed by rational people.
