If you’re denying that WWII did have the side effect of repairing the US economy, then you’re denying history. If not for that, then FDR’s monetary policies would have kept perpetuating the depression.
Yes, Ike was not credible. Really. Mr. Biggest Public Works Project in US History. Mr. Imaginary Military-Industrial Complex (it was true off US shores, but not on) and Mr. Run Away From Korea, never mind Mr. Help The Commies By Ending McCarthy(ism). He did not waver from the postwar leftist course.
And as for Truman, his firing of MacArthur was the start of the weakening of US foreign policy against the Second World, which has come back with a vengeance and on our own shores to boot.
“Loosen the flag”? Do you have a red flag around your head, I now wonder?
No, no red flag.
I am sick of us spending billions of dollars to bomb people who are not a threat to us. If we bombed every Aram/Muslim radical that said they were going to attack us, we would be out of bombs.
I think these guys have more interest in Boeing and Raytheon stock than they do the citizens of the US.
Just tired of half measures that do nothing but keep the natives pissed off.
