Exclamation The U.S.A. At War & In Peace

2-23-2020


“MIGHTY” is the only word that I can conjure up to even possibly describe this nation’s abilities when it comes to confronting and defeating any international foe that even dares to test our metal in combat, or anyplace else for that matter!

Now I have heard a great deal of static and threats about the prowess and tenacity of “Our Nation’s” foes, but history itself will attest to the fact that talk is still cheap and “The United States of America” deals not in idle rhetoric, but rather, our resolve, our awesome abilities, our scientific advancements, and our untouchable personal prowess, will keep us and our steel-willed combatants at the absolute apex of mankind’s potential for all times to come!

And for as long as we can continue to produce “The Best of the Best”, who then can ever top our magnificent capabilities?

It must always be remembered however, that politics alone actually has little place in any actual combat situation (opinion), for it is the courage of the magnificent “American Fighting Men (and Fighting Women)” themselves that will win out in the end, and will always achieve the ultimate victory - So Help Us God!

“And so it is, and so it must always remain!!” For we court not war, but we will never be shy when it comes to the defense of that which our two-hundred and forty-three years of pride, courage, science and prowess has indelibly inscribed within Our American Way of Life- “Past, Present and Future Alike!”

“Act Proud, Stand Proud, and Be Proud America, For We Have Much Within Our Gallant History and Future To Be Proud of – “And That Is The Absolute Truth of The Matter!!”

Personal note: It seems the US is always at war at one time another. The statistics don't give us the loss of lives or injured - but they have to be substantial over so many years.
I'd say the US shed plenty of lives and wounded in all these conflicts. Now its time to ask ourselves was all this really necessary (American History say's it was).

Note: I did some research and found this post (it may not be up todate) that gives some specifics of the K.I.A. in all War's & Conflict's (you may want review it) as tragic as it is:
