  12. Re:Stop talking out of your ass on Military Grounds Stealth Bomber Fleet · · Score: 3, Informative

    The USA did not give any aid to the other allies, they mostly made loans to to them so the could buy stuff from American companies. After Japan attacked perl harbour then they sent the army.

    Without the USA the allies would probably have lost, that is obvious. England would not have turned back the German attack without all the food, supplies and money the USA sold and loaned. Loan with interest from private banks, who also financed the nazi before , and some even after, the USA entered the war. I think the last payment from England has been made just a few years ago. But the USA surely did not win the war by itself.

    It may work fine for the military, but civilians die because of it. That's the point.

    "Uh, right. I'm not going to answer this kind of rhetorical point. I would love to see you prove that 50% of all American army "kills" are civilian."

    If you read better you'll notice I implied they kill 50% of the civilians, not that 50% of those killed are civilians, which is obviously not true; but wars since the beginning of the 20th century have killed many times more civilians than military personnel.

    "1) It's not your right to know,"

    Says who ?

    "nor should it be."

    Why?

    "First of all, you're not a citizen of the country whose army is protecting you."

    Then it is invaders. But anyway friend, foes , invaders or liberators I do not want to find myself in the middle of a battlefield completely by surprise.

    "Second of all, even in cases where a country's own army is protecting local cities I'd love for you to show me a case where they openly announced "soft spots". No country in the world does this!"

    Of course not. It would inform people that they are in danger and that the government does protect them. That could cause them problems. That why we need other sources to inform us.

    "2) You assume that just because the Army knows its own soft spots, terrorists know it too. This is clearly not the case. You're not trying to imply they have ESP do you? Sure they know of *some* soft spots, but not all of them, and you're implying we should be publishing them all."

    No ESP but they probably know most of them, and the gov know in some cases which one the "terrorists" know about. The only ones kept in the dark are the one who are actually at risk.

    Information is power, they must keep it out of the hands of the masses.

    If the American army is about to attack "terrorists" in MY village I would like to know. So i can't get the fuck out before they come in and kill half the village.

    If I live in a "soft spot" and the gov know it the most surrly the terrorist know it too. I would like to know too, for obvious reasons.

    No these are not alternatives, like you say these do not work. Abolishing money is better.
