If it weren't for Democrats, the following wars would have been avoided...

Reagan brought down the USSR? Weird I thought it was 49 years of US policy AND that failed ideology, like CONservatismn, communism?

Of course you would think that. You're an idiot. Democrats fought him every inch of the way and he STILL brought them down.

Odd...considering that the Soviet Union didn't collapse until very late 1991....3 years after Reagan was no longer in office and probably 5 years after he remembered being in office.

The thing is, all our biggest wars were brought to us courtesy of the Democrats.

As opposed to the Republicans such as yourself just wanting to roll over and surrender to enemy forces.

Roosevelt made promises to keep us out of the war, promises he never intended to keep. He should have been honest, and said that if Adolph Hitler started trouble in Europe, the United States would get involved. Had Roosevelt done simply that, World War II might have been avoided, at least the European part of it.

So...you wanted us to surrender to the Japanese after they attacked Pearl Harbor and wanted us to surrender to the NAZIs after they declared war on us........interesting.

No, the Civil War began during the Presidency of James Buchanan.

Oh really? The Civil War started on April 12th, 1861....Lincoln was sworn in on March 4th, 1861. Did you ditch American History in school?

Eisenhower ENDED the Korean War, a war which Harry Truman could not win, because the Communists had him stumped.

The Korean War isn't over....no treaty. My goodness, you are bad at history.

Why did the OP only pick and chose a few wars?

 

[g5000]

...Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War.

All these wars started under Democrat Presidents.

Wow. Whatever possessed you to come here and advertise you are one seriously stupid idiot?

 

[g5000]

Apparently the tard who started this topic thinks we should have not fought back after Pearl Harbor.

What a surrender monkey this traitor is!

Q. When was the Civil War fought?
The war began when the Confederates bombarded Union soldiers at Fort Sumter, South Carolina on April 12, 1861.

Abraham Lincoln

In office
March 4, 1861 – April 15, 1865

The war started when South Carolina seceded from the Union, which happened on James Buchanan's watch. Had he responded immediately with an invasion of South Carolina, the Civil War might have been averted.

Got it Cupcake you will make up your own definition of war *shaking head*

The traitorous act of secession was the start of the Civil War. Are you saying otherwise?

Nope....the firing on Fort Sumter started the war.

That's how confirmation bias works. It's good for Muslims, blacks, Mexicans, and gays, too!

The election of a Republican for President is what kicked the Civil War off.

Fuck yeah dumbass, just because those traitorous CONservative CONfederate States of AmeriKKKa said they seceded didn't make it legal OR right AND didn't start the war until those traitors fired on a federal fort AFTER Abe the progressive was in office

The Confederates were Democrats. Did you forget that?

No they weren't....they left the Democratic Party before the election on 1860. Stephen Douglas was the Democrat running in 1860....he won ONE state and ONE state only.

Eisenhower maintained between 750 to 1,500 troops in Vietnam as advisors between 1955 and 1960 when JFK added another 500. The first Americans to be lost in combat were lost during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. They were air dropping supplies to French troops when their cargo aircraft was hit and crashed.

That doesn't sound like much of a war. Things didn't really get hot until Johnson was President, then it was a war.

BUT TO SECEDE STARTS A WAR CUPCAKE? lol

Of course it does.

LMAOROG, Link to a credible HISTORY site showing the date of the war Cupcake?

You are acting like it's my job to fetch things for you that you could fetch for yourself.

You are incapable of researching anything and it shows. You'd be failing any History class......badly.

 

[bodecea]

Democrats are simple-minded people who think violence is the way to solve problems, so it makes sense that they got us involved in all these wars.

Look at you! Ignoring historical facts and all......

Yeah. FDR was a terrible president. Only always rated in the top three of all presidents on polls.
Reagan never was.
Suck on that..

Hindsight dufuss

It was a good decision. We had no reason to be stationing troops in Lebanon at that time.

Which was a good decision......letting our Marines be sitting ducks to be killed? Or running away afterwards?

 

[bodecea]

No it didn't, it started under JFK.

"In February 1954, President Eisenhower refused to commit American troops to the Franco-Vietnamese War. In a press conference he stated, "I cannot conceive of a greater tragedy for America than to get heavily involved now in an all-out war in any of those regions." By April, however, his administration revisited the question of direct intervention in the war. Though he sent no U.S. troops to the region, he authorized military aid to the French. After France surrendered to the Viet Minh, Eisenhower's administration aided anti-communist leader Ngo Dinh Diem in consolidating power in Saigon. Throughout his second term as president, Eisenhower remained committed to Diem's often-tyrannical regime.

That is not direct intervention. This is:

The History Place - Vietnam War 1961-1964

Your place Cupcake:

1953

January 20, 1953 - Dwight D. Eisenhower, former five-star Army general and Allied commander in Europe during World War II, is inaugurated as the 34th U.S. President.

During his term, Eisenhower will greatly increase U.S. military aid to the French in Vietnam to prevent a Communist victory. U.S. military advisors will continue to accompany American supplies sent to Vietnam.To justify America's financial commitment, Eisenhower will cite a 'Domino Theory' in which a Communist victory in Vietnam would result in surrounding countries falling one after another like a "falling row of dominoes." The Domino Theory will be used by a succession of Presidents and their advisors to justify ever-deepening U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

1955

January 1955 - The first direct shipment of U.S. military aid to Saigon arrives. The U.S. also offers to train the fledgling South Vietnam Army.

October 23, 1955 - Bao Dai is ousted from power, defeated by Prime Minister Diem in a U.S.-backed plebiscite which was rigged. Diem is advised on consolidating power by U.S. Air Force Col. Edward G. Lansdale, who is attached to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).


October 26, 1955 - The Republic of South Vietnam is proclaimed with Diem as its first president. In America, President Eisenhower pledges his support for the new government and offers military aid.


July 8, 1959 - Two U.S. military advisors, Maj. Dale Buis and Sgt. Chester Ovnand, are killed by Viet Minh guerrillas at Bien Hoa, South Vietnam. They are the first American deaths in the Second Indochina War which Americans will come to know simply as The Vietnam War.

The History Place - Vietnam War 1945-1960

I heard an American visiting there during the Truman administration died in a car accident while in Vietnam. Does that mean Truman actually got us involved in Vietnam? How many hairs are you going to split? Eisenhower did not attack Vietnam. Johnson did, and Kennedy was on the verge of it when he was popped in Dallas. Face it, twinkletoes, Democrats start wars. BTW, who was president when the troops were brought home from the jungle?

Nixon. Nixon got us an honorable peace in Vietnam and got our boys home.

We would have won that war were it not for the treacherous Democrats, who pulled aid from South Vietnam when the North invaded.

Democrats are treasonous scumbags, always have been, always will be.

"Honorable peace in Vietnam".....where's the "honorable" part? Seems to me, you are a big supporter of running away and surrendering.

 

[bodecea]

Where's the OP go?

No, the Civil War began during the Presidency of James Buchanan.

Secession started under Buchanan

The war started with the firing on Ft Sumter
