Negative....If the North attacked the South...in numbers (1.1 million standing force...ready yesterday..boots on the ground is their strength...with reserves of 7 million..largest army ever...anywhere...anytime), the US would respond in might..as if it were Texas! You all think our lives changed on 9-11....a war here would be devestation like we may have never seen (well....may be once). We have 28,000 service men and wemon...and their families there; not to mention the South is one of our laregest allies...not only in that part of the world...but anywhere. Yea...they have a modern army...tanks are better...air craft...Navy....and a very good defence stratigies with communications at it finest (computers). I just wonder though....are we ready to make such a sacrifice...is the US ready to see number of sacrifices in the thousands in lives...and billions in mulla..just in mer days?
I was thinking...not to many know this...but how many American lives were lost in the battle of Iwa Jima....anybody know??? The Japenesse lost 21,ooo in two day+....We lost 23,000 brave men! It came to 3 US soldiers died every 5 seconds (that is more than D-day; and the battle of the bulge togeather), think about that for a moment....And that doesn't count the 17,000 lost at sea that week...keeping the supply chain and renforcements open from the ships; battling the laregst ever ...maybe ever will be..(if I can spell it) kamikaze attacks! So...we are talking about those kind of sacrifices here. Im pissed at China...Im pissed off at Russia...( I believe they want to see us at war...checking us out). They will cry in their soup when we have to really put the screws on the North...and believe me....we will...brace yourself; might not be tomarrow...or next week...But the day will come when we face off; and really unleash the 21 century dogs of war!!!. I just hope we have a presedent like Rosevelt...that won't take excusses...and won't take nothing less that an unconditional surrender from the North...drive them to their kness...make them like it...and to hell with the Red Army and their pittyfull leadership...they will wish they had done something ...when the cloud blows over into their leadership. Their own people will rise.....and so will the North's people in devience to their own establishments....The day will come....sad really.
