I thought you would be more smarter than falling into the ‘friendly’ trap with US and Israel.
Their agendas are more prioritised than friendships.You should know better...



Trap? Hell, no! It's all about a nation's supreme national interest. India needs America and America needs India. I don't need to specify the reasons as these are well known and which you may be aware of.

In international diplomacy, its not 'friends' that count. Whatever is done is for national interest and for mutual benefit - economic, strategic, and geopolitical.

Cheers!

Compared to the "relations" with the Muslims states which are filled with terrorists and suicide bombers? Who would want to have associations with a nation full or illiterate brainwashed terrorists ? Nobody would want to be seen associating with these kind of people unless they needed something from them.

Maybe the Muslims have been used by the US like that by the US because they were gullible and thus they think that behavior pertains to more civilized people also? Sorry but that is not the case. Any and all relations with the US and Israel have moral implications and a certain shared sense of mutual values when we have relations with like minded states. In dealing withe the barbarian Islamic states like Pakistan, SAudi Arabia etc where we have to deal with the 'dictator of the day', we are bound to prioritize our goals as we cant delude ourselves that we have anything in common with these savages.
Thus if you study our relations with countries like Israel, Uk, Japan etc, the US has always protected its allies and works in their interests of all those share its values.

Did you know in the Vietnam War the US Navy Seals had a 1500:1 kill death ration. How's that for bad ass? These guys wouldn't stand a chance against America. Nobody has seen what America can really do with no dissent from liberals. (no i'm not talking about nuclear warfare either) It would be sad what the American military would do to this rag-tag bunch of indians. Sorry friend, the Indian military could not stand for a week against the American military.

Yea in nearly a decade of fighting lol. Plus Americans have liberals breathing down our neck so of course we have to follow the rules of engagement. I don't call sneak attacks by muslim retards anything that constitutes a negative opinion on the sheer strength of the United States military. Anyone could kill US soldiers, obviously, they're human. But in a straight up fight where we know the enemy and the enemy is wearing anything but civilian clothes, nobody, lemme repeat, nobody in the world could touch us.

Very bad ass! 1500:1 kill ratio?? (It's 'ratio' not 'ration' as you mentioned!!) Wow! So what do we have here? Between 1965 and 1972, 46 SEALS were killed in Vietnam. That boils down to 1500x46=69,000!!!

You mean the SEALS killed 69,000 Vietnamese? Then we should send just one team of SEALS to Iraq. They can win that war for America!! What the heck are 178,000 US soldiers doing there? A sheer waste of resources, what?

Dunno where you've learned your military history from!! Lol! That just reflects on the credibility of your hackneyed arguments. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Cheers!

He is comparing the civilian’s dead compare to each soldier. Not actual combatants.

Heck! You mean to say SEALS kill unarmed civilians too? Now that's real bad ass!! Lol! Shades of 'Operation Shock and Awe' in Iraq, what?!! And remember Abu Ghraib? Oh yeah! I never said the US Army isn't the best!

Ok, but seriously, let's be clear on one thing. The American troops are very good. I've interacted with them pretty often and know how they operate. It's the failure of the higher direction of war which is sad. Poor strategic planning at the higher levels is what is showing US troops in bad light.

First of all, I do realize that it is ratio, and second of all, I added a second 0 without realizing it. I didn't edit it because I was short on time, and I actually forgot about this thread until I just looked into my posts section under my profile. But nice try at making me look foolish.
