Wrong "Great Skedaddle".
EDIT: Apparently it's more commonly referred to as "The Big Bugout".
And of course I may have a bias as well as you should but the w/the "gloves off" No military can compare to the U.S.A.
You get a congress that declares war and says, "have at em boys" there is no stopping them. WW2 proved that!
But when you got them hand cuffed as in korea,vietnam afghanastan these inferior forces look like they can hold their own. And thats simply not the case.

The Chinese army that routed the 8th Army didn't have a single tank or heavy artillery piece and hardly any mobile transport. A declaration of war would have hardly made much of a difference.
US troops, when well led, do fine but considering how extravagantly they are supplied, it's very questionable whether they are superior man for man over even the irregular (but combat experienced) forces they faced in Vietnam and now face in Afghanistan.

Supporters of the CSA really shouldn't call other Americans "traitors".
2. Prove how the CSA were traitors.
3. support your claim how there were no soviet tanks used in the korean conflict

2. "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." US Constitution, Article III, Section 3
3. I didn't make that claim. I did claim that in the initial attack they did not have any tanks. That is true.
Originally posted by generalissimoSure, but at a certain point you're just going to have to not bother when people who have a strong interest in lying to you are making suspect claims.
It always such a shame when we have a perfectly reasonable argument being dismissed out of hand solely because of its origin; attack the message, not the messenger.
Originally posted by no1marauderI think its somewhat the established norm that guerrilla warfare cannot be successfully countered by conventional warfare, the success of the taliban rag heads is therefore not surprising.
The Taliban "rag heads" are still in the field fighting (pretty successfully) against overwhelming odds. You don't have to like their ideology to admire their fighting qualities; the Army of Northern Virginia and the SS were fighting for odious ideological reasons, but any non-biased observer has to grant that they had great professional competence.

this a statement of fact or at the very least you could say my opinion. it in no way condones or "supports" the CSA.
