Would it make you guys happy if the entire, however many pages the thread is, be deleted altogether? I only locked it because no matter what side you're on, neither will sway the other into believing whatever it is that the truth is. The media on BOTH sides is only writing what they believe will bring them approval and ratings.
Unless you are there, on the ground and experiencing what is happening, what you read is pure conjecture.
What you are saying about the able bodied people to stay and fight is what we here in Florida have been telling the Cubans, Bahamians, Haitians, Dominicans, etc... to fight for their land and their rights. And when you hear the same answer from them all, which is...'How? We have no weapons.'
This is when they are faced with the fact that THEY gave them up to their governments and the Governments have unlimited supplies because the people with the money and the power of evil will always supply it to them. Every country you people are mentioning have NO ability. None, whatsoever to fight back because of the political stance they chose to take. They ALL gave up their rights to defend their families and properties to their perspective governments.
And THAT my friends is the real truth. So, you American Liberals that want to give up your rights and freedoms, look around and pay close attention, because if it happens here, you're going to be looking for the fastest way to get out and we won't exclude suicide. 80% of the American people couldn't survive 48 hours without outside help.
I learned from both a mother and father that both lived through WWII. Mom making bombs in England where they counted the pea on the plates to be sure that your brother or your sister didn't have one more than you. Her parents saying to the kids to go to bed, that way you won't be hungry. And Dad landing on Omaha Beach in the midst of the fighting and using dead buddies as body shields. He made it to come home and serve 20 more years as a U.S. Marine, training the guys that went to Korea and Viet Nam.
You pussies wouldn't last a minute out there where real men fought and died.
