But when Japan are willing to cross an Ocean to bomb you before breakfast on a Sunday... it's day that lives in infomy.

When Washington died, the King of England announced an empire-wide period of mourning. Even his enemies revered him.

Oh, a whole river? The Swedish marched their whole army over two frozen seas just because they wanted to have some Danish for their fika.

So how did rowing that boat across frozen water go?

One of my relatives was apparently on that boat. Don't doubt it. I will get up out of this chair and do it. I mean it!... please dont

When your army is a moving small pox train, there's no line you wont cross.

Start forcing citizens to accept mercenary soldiers in their homes & giving citizens NO rights & we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile several months into the 1st world war. Folk stopped fighting and played football on Christmas day.
watwutwhut
When you said First World War I thought you meant "first world" war. Like all the first world countries are fighting? I need to lie down.
Killickthere
that was before the bloody americans joined in
QuasarsAndBlazars
It wasnt the bloody Americans who started a world war over archaic political agreements and interbred royal families clammering for power
Killickthere
yeah, and if they hadn't come in to finish it off we could have kept the fun going for another ten years!

Several times. The generals issued orders to stop the ground troops having unofficial ceasefires and fraternising.

Makes it pretty difficult for your general to order you to shoot Hans when you've been smoking and playing soccer together.

Meant more about the picnics

And we'll do it again. Probably.

We do it every year. (I live near Washington's Crossing, every Christmas they reenact it. Fun times.)
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
And don't forget that England didn't even know we were salty about those taxes, and they never collected any tax money, we fucked them up
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
So the long and the short of it is, don't fuck with USA with taxes, we will kill you in your sleep on X-man even if you don't collect
hispanicyankee
Yeah, we really just don't like taxes.
Litig8
Or having soldiers forcibly put in our homes, outlawing free speech and press, hanging those who spoke against the crown...
hispanicyankee
Also the taxes, though. Taxes were big. Easier to care about your wallet sometimes
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
they totally knew
Alamyst2011
Yup. The CC had written the Crown numerous times previous
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
Ben Franklin was our ambassador, they knew by the Delaware river, but old Ben told them we were totes happy bc france war
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
rewind … "intolerable acts" "towsend acts" " tea party"… this shit was going on for more than a decade
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
And if you have any history books you love I am always open for suggestions.
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
And the fact that we got these taxes is because we started a war with france for Britian, and they were going broke.
hispanicyankee
As though that war wasn't going to happen anyway.
DeadpoolIsMySpiritAnimal
THEY NEVER COLLECTED A TAX For anything other than the stamp tax, this was all American Pro War Propoganda
MyRegularAcctIsntAnonymousEnough
yeah, but they KNEW we didn't like it … even if it made tea cheaper WITH the tax than without!

The Sugar and Townsend acts would make you wrong.

That's blatantly false

Fight dirty and win vs. fight fair and have a chance to lose? I'll pick dirty every time
Dovieandisetouvyasagain
I thought you typed "I'll pick dick every time" and I was like, "Yeah man! I'm right there with you!" :( Now I'm sad
hispanicyankee
No, I'll pick dick zero times. Dick wasn't even an option.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
Fight to win. Anything else is just ego.
hispanicyankee
Exactly
MEMRITV
That worked great in Iraq and Afghanistan, all those hearts and minds
hispanicyankee
Afghanistan has been doing it all through their history and they've managed to stay independent only because the don't stop fighting.
hispanicyankee
So yes, it has worked well there

Asymmetrical warfare...we'd be speaking proper English without it...
DamnumAbsqueInjuria

hispanicyankee
If it came down to it, yes. I would use those tactics if it would win me a war or if conventional warfare proved ineffective or impossible.
DamnumAbsqueInjuria
As would I. It's the only way to wage an asymmetrical war. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
hispanicyankee
The United States wouldn't exist without unconventional methods. Sometimes you have to resort to methods some view as immoral to win.
FuckComicSans
Unfortunately if you play dirty you have to be prepared for them to fight dirty back. Id much rather a fair fight from both sides.
hispanicyankee
Can't trust that they'll play fair so it's best to get down in the mud with 'em. Also, I agree heartily with your username
ToTheLastDrop
The only time you should be in a fair fight is when you've made a mistake. Fair fights are for pride, and fights for pride are bad fights.
hispanicyankee
Exactly. Kick ass or don't fight. Why chance it?

The USA isn't even there. We don't have US soldiers trying to engage ISIS in combat. We drove them out of Iraq with just drones

hispanicyankee
Well, Iraqis, Kurds, and Russian bombs too. Taliban was harder to fight than ISIS. There's just more of them and we aren't trying as hard

hispanicyankee
My comment did not imply that every "dirty" tactic was effective, simply that in general trying to be fair is tactically stupid. Which it is
hispanicyankee
You would know that if your reading comprehension was at fourth grade levels

Every nation does terrible things in war. To believe otherwise is to be willfully ignorant or extremely naïve.

Everyone should be held accountable. We are not defined by the rules we follow, we are defined by the rules we break.

The attitude of "I'll do what it takes to win" is bad, now? And I'm pretty sure that is the exact point they were making.

Dismissing a problem by saying "everyone does it" is a sure fire way to make sure they keep doing it
hispanicyankee
It's not something you can avoid. When you're trying to kill people with explosives and bullets, people are going to die

Sadly it's not always the right ones
