Oh, you mean like this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/31/us-halts-haiti-patients-evacuations

Or you are talking about the "they are niggers, let them die" policy used in New Orleans after Katrina?

The US military for 2010 was 685.1 BILLON. Got that? 685.1 BILLON. Haiti's GDP is ~6BILLION. Ok? Got that? Haiti's GDP is less than 1% of the money the US spends on murdering people every year. If the US military had done any amount of actual work in Haiti, it would be MORE than noticeable. All they did was send a few planes, then cancel them.

The only reason the US military exists is to maintain the very profitable war industry, which keeps the right pockets full. It also takes care of shaping the political layout of the world so that certain markets such as oil can stay extremely profitable for the US.

See, your reasoning is wrong. You say that you know what you are talking about because you are enlisted on the navy. That doesn't make you an informed person. That makes you brainwashed, and a potential murderer.

I love the way you talk with that big macho style, it's a classical in all the small minded people that sign up on the military. You have to make up for that small penis of yours, so you need big weapons and a bad guy attitude.

But all that attitude and the fact that you've been brainwashed already changes nothing. Facts are facts, and, in your own words, it's not the world that is fucking with the US, it's the US that is fucking with the rest of the world. Remember operation condor? The CIA has been organizing coup d'etats around the world for 50 years. You have an active intelligence, economic and military presence all over the world.

Let's take Iraq as a quick example:

Iraq was an awesome place on its own since the dawn of civilization. 6000 years ago, they were the most advanced civilization on earth. They were invaded by just about everyone: The Sumerians, the Persians, the Romans, The Mongols, The Ottomans. But throughout all that time it was pretty clear: They were part of one empire, then they become part of another empire. In the meanwhile, they went on with their lives, and every single culture that invaded them preserved their amazing cultural heritage. Then your country's daddy and mentor in the imperialism game (The UK) first fucked up Iraq, invaded, overthrown the government, and left a puppet as dictator. That was that until the US helped Saddam Hussein murder everyone else and take power. And he was a happy puppet of the US, until he revealed against you, so you had to put him down. And there you are. In Iraq. In 6000 years, after hundreds of invasions, yours caused more damage than all the others put together. You carpet-bombed the place destroying invaluable pieces of history and art.

So, are you trying to tell me that somehow "Iraq fucked with your country?". Also, you talked about Terrorists, but the terrorists that attacked your country weren't from Iraq. They were form Saudi Arabia. But of course, you can't attack that country because they own a big chunk of the USA's economy, and the Bushes and other bastards are close friends with them, because of their ongoing and fruitful oil business. Therefore you attacked Afghanistan. A piece of Arid land that has already been attacked throughout the 20th century by every country with an army plus the boy scouts, and were there's little left standing. You were there to find an ex-CIA that you trained to murder and destroy, all surprised that he did exactly that.

Now, can you explain to me again how it is that your innocent country is just trying to defend itself?
