How much do you know about WWII battles?

I'm not sure you fully understand what's been done to our military. Clinton gutted it, Bush ran what was left into the ground, and Obama has destroyed what was left and cut the head off leadership, using it to experiment in liberalism. The military you knew is gone, it's now just a regional force. HS

If that is true, then every general and admiral should be shot. The US military budget is bigger than the next ten combined. With that amount of money running around there is no excuse for a weak military. I'm afraid you've listened to too much faux news.

This is what happens when you have (so called) leaders that hold military position powers that have never served in the military...

Like Reagan? Screwing starlets while Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Ted Williams and Bob Feller actually fought doesn't count.

And the Presidents who actually fought like Ike, JFK and Ford grew to distrust the military.

And don't forget Cheney, Wolfowitz and John Wayne.

"Quantity has a quality of its own." so said Stalin, Lenin,...

Yep and lots of soldiers died using not so good equipment when led by no so good leadership since Stalin had executed the officer corps... The inferior quality of the Russian tanks was paid for in the blood of their crews. But Stalin did not really care about people since he killed them by the millions as part of his worker paradise. The inferiority of Russian tanks continues to this day and can be shown in various wars where Russian tanks fought Western tanks in Korea and the various Middle Eastern wars.

I surely would want to be in a M1A and NOT in a T80 or T90.

Budget cuts leaving Marine Corps aircraft grounded | Fox News The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Must Resign | US Defense Watch Can you tell me what the 10 trillion dollars we borrowed the last 8 years bought? The military didn't spend a dime of that! Please answer, because I don't know where it went. My best guess is paying State and Union pensions. General public is just now becoming aware that their military is but a shadow of what it was 1991, and will take decades to restore. HS

Guys, remember I started this thread in Related topics as a fun thread, it is not in "friendly politics"

I have brains enough to start anything that has the word "guns" in friendly politics, as those threads always become contentious, but I started this one as a simple fun quiz.

Good example of the undermining powers of politics...!

Why ask about WWII battles, when the question is what do you know about the battles in Iraq and Afghanistan.
