I didn't say they were spreading freedom. That is was supposedly what we were doing but actually we were there to stop the Communists from taking over yet another country.
First and foremost, you need to realize that I think the Vietnam war was none of our business. We should have never gotten into that war. The same with South Korea, however, in retrospect, I am happy that South Korea is a free country.
We really need to drop this idea that we are the world's police force. But in order to do that we must first get out of the UN and out of NATO. NATO, specifically, has gotten far too many American soldiers killed by putting our soldiers in harms way, fighting wars that were none of our business. Wars that NATO or the UN wanted us to fight.
And we're the suckers that send our people in to fight those wars. Aside from the UK, Canada and Australia, no one else sends their soldiers to fight. A lot of countries don't even have an army or a system of defense, they just hope we'll come in and save them.
