I hated that "war"..... because it wasn't war we were meant to win, it was just a conflict in which we lost so many of our young men..... without a good solid resolution.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Kinda like the majority of wars the US gets itself into, notably the most recent ones.

However, there is no other way to maintain public displays of patriotism and to have heroes to thank for their service to a grateful nation.

Yup......always fighting wars on foreign soil, killing civilians and just saying "Oops.....more collateral damage".......

You and your hatred obsession...Unconsciously projecting your own hatred onto others is one of the many advantages of willful ignorance......

Really?

The only nations I can think that have the military capacity to pose a threat to the US are China and Russia.

I don't see American troops being sent to those countries to fight the threat.

Wars only serve the special interest groups and politicians

My earliest News memories are of hearing radio reports about the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, when troops under Vo Nguyen Giap (later Minister of Defence for Ho Chi Minh) surrounded and then overran the French Foreign Legion. Later, I was a foreign Grad student in Philadelphia, 67-69. Many of my classmates had come back from 'Nam -- I learned a lot from them. The First IndoChina War is generally regarded as 1946 - 1954, so I guess the correct answer is Roosevelt, although I said Eisenhower.
