Really? <b>From D-Day</b> to the defeat of Germany was how long?</i><br /><br />sigh/<br />As usual DanF can pretty much be relied upon to provide us with false premise. <br />US still has 50,000 military personel in Germany, 65 years after. That's the occupation phase that can be compared to Iraq. 65 years vs 7.<br /><br /> If we were talking about the actual combat phase there would be an entirely different comparison. That comparison would be the 6 years (4 years, US) it took the allies to win the combat phase against Germany -- vs what? -- a paltry few weeks it took the US led coalition to win the combat phase in Iraq.<br /><br />Soooo....just to recap:<br /><br />Germany, combat phase -- 6 years<br />Iraq, combat phase -- 3 weeks<br /><br />Germany, occupation phase -- 65 years (to date)<br />Iraq, occupation phase -- 7 and a half years (to date)Olives and Arrowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-68911147896582820742010-08-23T08:55:21.018-05:002010-08-23T08:55:21.018-05:00Iraq is doing very well in comparison?

And after the defeat of Germany, did our troops hunker-down on bases and serve as support units for the German army in combat missions? Did the same thing happen in Japan?

Only seven and a half years after the invasion and we're already reducing to 50,000 troops. In other words... we're doing very well in Iraq and the loser defeatists are writhing in agony because of it.<br /><br /><i>how about japan, then.</i><br /><br />We have over 25,000 troops still remaining in Japan. The US has military personel in something like 150 countries.

Especially considering that the 50,000 troops are designated as "Advisors" and not as "Combatants" or "Killer Soldier Death Legions". See? Problem solved!<br /><br />I have a suggestion, though. How about we redefine "The Taliban" as "Muhajadeen Freedom Fighters", then we can declare victory in Afghanistan and come home?Major Woodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-31745619339932825382010-08-21T21:53:24.796-05:002010-08-21T21:53:24.796-05:00how about japan, then.how about japan, then.pansypoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164502315120164024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-12790408964868341982010-08-21T07:55:44.880-05:002010-08-21T07:55:44.880-05:00Not that many IEDs and suicide bombers on the stre...Not that many IEDs and suicide bombers on the streets of Wiesbaden and Munich these days, either (even during the days of the Red Army Brigade, they didn't have quite that sort of problem).<br /><br />Nor are the Bavarians and the Rhinelanders in the midst of a civil war for control of a very shaky government.<br /><br />If anyone's making comparisons of Iraq with Germany, they're being very, very silly.Montaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531503205815503135noreply@blogger.com
