You can assemble any army in the world, spend all the big bucks on guns,bombs,ships,planes and gadgets, no matter what country it is whether it's united states,england,australia or what ever,,,,,, but you Cant Beat "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" and in this case with Proof and Facts,, America "LOST" the Vietnam War because they couldn't defeat "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" and thats the TRUTH..

noxstu - I totally agree. Americans go on and on about how invincible they are, but by my count they will have lost at least 3 wars in my lifetime: Vietnam, Somalia, and soon Iraq. In fact, in my lifetime America has lost more wars than it has won.

your "forefathers'" ... ( 4 days ago by cjospdfjiod)

your "forefathers'" american dream was not that of your's or king's. lets not forget this country was founded upon the pillaging of natives...built by illuminatists. Trust, there idea of america was not diverse and didnt include you in it. Those "forefathers" were just as evil and corrupt.

Im not religious ... ( 4 days ago by cjospdfjiod)

Im not religious either, but I am spiritual! Always remember that religion is man-made(catholisism is of the most corrupt)That doesnt mean you should loose your own personal relationship with God. GOD IS AGAINST RELIGION! It gives man a reason to preach his own agenda. Thats what the devil wants..there are even some satanic practices in religion people dont understand. God loves you and believes in you, but you must open your heart and rebuke the evil..thats what us christians sign up for!

I thought us ... ( 3 days ago by noxstu)

I thought us christians are not suppose to judge ?? Hmmmmm.... The truth is between those and God and Judgement is solemn his and only his..

what the hell are ... ( 3 days ago by cjospdfjiod)

what the hell are you talking about? who am I judging?? making a statement is not judgemental, its simply making a statement. I think it is you who could learn from your own criticism.

American Revolution, War of 1812, Spanish American War, World War 1, World War 2, Cold War. Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, perhaps Iraq, Perhaps Aghanistan. That doesn't look like they loss more than won to me Black Proteus. Got another war?

In your lifetime...ah, i'm incorrect.

Vietnam was begun ... ( 1 day ago by alexanderloudoun)

Vietnam was begun to be maintained, to reap the industrial turnover that wars can provide, not to be won or lost so let's move on from disputing that point. I would be cautious of anyone who dubs themself a servant of anyone/any entity nevermind a "servantofloviatar". The most interesting quote from the wiki def. aside from being the Godess of pain & agony is: "She is a cold-hearted bully, calculating and despotic; she is the master of inflicting physical and psychological pain and torture....

.... for these reasons maybe anyone on the path shouldn't waste time disussing with such people as they do not focus on the issues & solutions, they are here to argue & some specifically to divert attention & waste your time.

In reply to ... ( 1 day ago by alexanderloudoun)

In reply to cjospdfjiod, there is a great saying that summarises your point being simply... "Religion is the Business of spirituallity". I'm sorry the origins have evaded my memory but I've always agreed with it's statement.

After hearing this ... ( 1 day ago by iwhobelieve7)

After hearing this speech by Martin Luther King Jr. I'm sure he did see the mountain top! Open freedom of speech with moral logic on behalf of humane beings is the reason why MLK died in such early age. A secret societal of sinister satanists temporarily reigns in control over what we see, how we think and how we should feel etc. according to THEIR devious, unethical, diabolical, godless and base minded false standards. We should be thankful that we have at least a chance to awaken others. pray

IrinaRamishvili... ... ( 1 day ago by iwhobelieve7)

IrinaRamishvili...The white man is a sodomite(homosexual) vagabond(bum) by birth with a wicked and foul spirit(brain). He's only concerned about the black man's physical attributes(body parts) because he is jealous and envious, as his sick and demented forefather CAIN(the devil satan) before him. In the world to come(the kingdom of heaven) there are NO europeans. REVELATION 22:15 ; OBADIAH 10,18 ; PSALM 1:4,5.

You are crazy man. You prove that negro man has large cock but a small brain.

IrinaRamishvili... ... ( 16 hours ago by iwhobelieve7)

IrinaRamishvili...Whether your eyes be asleep or awakened for sure the unseen holy angels of the almighty most-High (God) will soon touch your existing life in such a way on behalf of your folly. And well deserved, because your mouth needs more than to just be washed out with soap. Your sodomite comments are against the laws of the Father(God) and it is disresptful to those who have pure minds for conduct as they listen to the words of MLK. Shame on you I'll say, but better the LORD show you.
