    America doesn’t know who it is if it’s not killing someone.

    That’s why we’ve been at war for all but 17 years of our existence.

    Stop expecting that to change.

          Well, if you’re ever in Ohio, you’ve got at least one extra member, and there might be a certain aquatic horse nearby that could lend support.

          I don’t think the three of us can accomplish much by force though…

          I’ve got a wheelbarrow though.

              I’m not American. I organize in my own country. You guys say this shit like there aren’t whole books, historical context, organizations and the like that you can reference to. But what it is is that you just can’t get past the part of having to actually do something and take risks to save yourselves.

      I have also seen that infographic and they are very generous with a lot of their timetables. For instance, they count the entire Cold War. If you want to include covert military operations and funding of rebel groups, well then an awful lot of nations have been engaged in war for 80%+ of their existence lol

      It is true that the US is a war mongering nation. But the 17 years thing is bordering on the intellectually dishonest.
