fanta you are stating facts and that is great but i was talking about
opinions or is all you have is the facts?

yes it may have taken more chinease to fight americans but they arent in
as many placs as we are AND they have the people to spare.

Read between the lines, as well as other things I say.

At the time of the Korean war we had more troops in more different
places than we do now. The Chinese know our military capabilities, and
our resolve if we are attacked.
To know history is very important, and I could tell by your post perhaps
you needed a lesson.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Without a Nuclear War, you do not have to worry about the Chinese or
anyone coming across that great big Ocean and landing a successful
Invasion on the US. If you read a little about the subject and studied a
few more stats then you would have realized that.

Just multiply those casualty reports from Korea by say 1 thousand and
see what the look like then. Lets see 900,000 times 1 thousand equals
900 million. OK, now take 33,000 and multiply that by 1 thousand and you
get 33 million. Now do you think they would want to add the additional
losses inherent to sea invasion and the added number of American
combatants (civilians) I dont think so.... Should we worry I dont think
so...
I thought this was a joke or you did not have any idea and it was easier
to post the facts than to waste time typing all this junk. Now are you
worried and tell me what you think and not what you were mislead to
think by those who misinterpret the facts..

Sorry to be such a smart ass, but you asked!!!

bella, I am happy that you are beginning to thing about these things.
Don't let the lack of historical knowledge pin you down. There are MANY
answeres in history, but it all begins with questions today. More than
ever the internet make accessible knowledge in abundance. Spend some
time there, but not all your time, spend time on current affairs, but
not all your time, spend time talking of these things your questions
with people, and ALWAYS take time to live and love and see beauty. You
are a voter, you need to know.

WOMEN in the armed forces - damn straight (oo-straight, not a word I use
lightly):wink:
