The whole Post Iraq syndrome is wearing off already, the next Vietnam is already on the horizon, these lulls of war weariness in America, they don't actually last that long.
I mean, America was war weary with Korea by 1953, by 1953 America had had its fill of Korea, so how long did that last? Oh, twelve years? So when did the US pull out of Iraq? Twelve years after that; you're good to go for another war.
Like, what? You think Iraq is going to be America's last war? lol.
Even the catastrophe of Vietnam, how long was it before that wore off and America got into another big war? 1975-1990? 15 years, that's how long Post Vietnam syndrome lasted; and Iraq was a cakewalk compared to Vietnam, so if Vietnam only gave America pause for 15 years, then America's next big war is right around the corner already.
Let's put it this way, whether it's Trump or the next guy, I wouldn't get too comfortable if I was Iran, I got a sneaking suspicion that they are still at the top of the hit list, and the Neocons are just looking for the right time to strike...

Like I said, you're apparently deluded, probably because you're young, so easily suckered, by your lack of perspective, obviously this is your first rodeo, as you sound just the naive hippies back in the 70's, yeah, they drank their own bathwater too.Hwen Hoshino wrote:The media landscape will change even more and both parties are under siege.

Re: There shall be a movie called Iraqi Sniper...
Personally, I hope its not another desert war, so bored with desert war now. At first it was all new and shiny, you know, after all that Vietnam shit, the desert seemed so fresh, plus tanks n' shit, hadn't been a good tank war in a long time, but now it's come full circle, and I'm pining for an infantry war in the jungle again, fuck this desert shit, there's islamists in Southeast Asia, ISIS has moved into the Phillipines, there's a good prospect, the jungles and islands of the Phillipines, Swiftboats vs. the Islamic Cong, I'm feeling it, Pentagon, how about you? You know you wanna, you've got to be sick of the desert by now too.
You got Duterte, so there's your Ngo Dinh Diem type, the government there is clearly destabilizing, plus Islamic terrorists, which is the new Communists for the new Domino Theory, I can feel it, going back to Southeast Asia at some point, all the pieces are falling into place.

Re: There shall be a movie called Iraqi Sniper...
Nah, you kids are the ones who play video games, and unlike the naive hippies who actually tried to incite a revolution in the streets, playing video games and austistic screeching on the internet, is all you do, so you have even less chance of changing the course of history than the hippies, and they of course had no chance, as with all naive idealistic young people, they drank their own bathwater, but at least they tried, I have to give them that, you however, are nothing, you don't even amount to a hippie, they put the likes of you to shame, even as they were making fools of themselves.Hwen Hoshino wrote:You are gonna be playing a lot of Call of Duty and wishing that you were right.
Face facts, you're pathetic, you screech about a revolution, which you yourself can't even be bothered to show up for, what, you think you're inciting change, by prattling about it here on an internet forum? lol. Sad. But in a funny way, the tragicomedy of the Millenial faux revolutionaries.
Just go back to watching your cartoons and geeking out with your action figures, don't bother trying to shine anybody on about being a change agent, the only thing to be changed with you, is your infantilized diaper, and maybe your ritalin presrciption from time to time.

Re: There shall be a movie called Iraqi Sniper...
I'm not trying to incite revolutionary change, I couldn't care less, I just come here to view the American panic monkeys flinging poo at each other, for the yuks, and I post things to stir the pot, to see if I can get them all screeching and flailing about, for more yuks. Basically just slumming, for cheap entertainment.Hwen Hoshino wrote:You do realize you posted 3 times as many posts as i did...? Right?
Also, as I am exponentially more familiar with American history than most of you Americans are, I can provide some perspective from time to time, but since you're so obsessed with screeching and flinging poo at each other over idiotic and fabricated bugaboos, that's mostly a waste of time, I am actually losing interest of late, as it's getting kind of boring around here, same-old same-old and getting more same-old as it goes.
Case in point, this non conversation with you, total waste of time, like talking to a wall, you're totally boring, even when I try to illuminate for you, you just keep repeating your talking points; Zzzzzz.
