but WW2 was actually a worthwhile war. I have no complaints about the American Military prior to the Korean War (well, short of the Spanish-American war. That was pretty whack, but everything else is faily in tune with the times).
See, after world war two, we decided to start getting into wars just because, and not because we were drawn into them.
maybe there's a reason none of the wars/conflicts have been successful since. Sure, GW1 was somewhat successful, but if you call 970 sorties flow out to blow up 33 bridges successful.....
not to mention, GW1 didn't really clean the place up. Foreshadowing?
