Italian Blood? well, maybe the modern Italian from Italy since all the strong/brave Italians of Roman standards, came to America in the early part of the 20th century...Italians made up the largest ethnic group in World War II, so I hear...saved your English ancester's ass.
Lets not forget, England lost to a bunch of Farmers with the prize being this vast Empire of land with incredible resources.
here we go, the Patriotism **** agian
Good result against the poor, undeveloped nation of Vietnam.
Vietnam wasn't a "War" in the sense of taking over, rather to occupy, to supposedly prevent "Communism" from spreading...we had/have the capabilities to just wipe the country off the face of the earth, but it is harder to try to invade and try to setup a "Democracy"...though that can be debated if that is what we were really there.
It is hard when the ally and the enemy look alike...if we were to follow the Romans, since we have those same capabilities, it would have not taken to long.
Same thing in Iraq right now: easy to kick the **** of them, and could just wipe them out, but that is not what we are supposed to do; were supposed to "Spread Democracy", which is bull**** since that is not how you do it.
You also have a bunch of Rich ****s in office that want to control the military and not listen to the Generals in charge of how to go about things.
