The army should come to our communities when natural disasters strike.. Imagine a full-blown military response to help evacuate people and rescue those in need.
why would they help the everyday people when they could line the pockets of everyone involved in the military industrial complex instead? The corruption is real. It's a shame that this is where we're at.
I’m a US citizen currently living in New York and while I agree with you somewhat the truth is if we stopped putting all of the money into our military china would become the world police and it would not be good for anybody
For everyone saying we Americans never won a war Actually that’s not true we Americans won WW1 and WW2, we Americans won the Cold War against Russia 1945-1991, we Americans won the gulf war 1991-1991, we Americans even won the wars in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Kosovo we Americans have won many wars even going back 200 years there are many wars we Americans won including winning the war against Mexico 🇲🇽 and the UK 🇬🇧.

Yet the Army has accomplished much more than the Marine Corps! The Army has fought and won against the worst aggressors in history. While the Marine Corps was largely engaged in island hopping in the Pacific, the Army fought and won against multiple enemies in multiple theaters. The Army fought in North Africa, Italy, Western Europe, the Aleutian Islands, and after finishing up their own theater in the Pacific (New Guinea, the Philippines) they finished up the Navy/Marine Corps' theater for them. Of the 250,000 Japanese troops in Luzon, 80 percent died. The Army was also involved in most of the islands that the Marine Corps was involved in. The Marine Corps stood up three more divisions and still could not take Japan on its own. Not only did the Marine Corps absolutely need the Army, but the Army also finished business for them. Over 20 Army divisions to the Marine Corps' six. The Army led the final push to take Okinawa and mainland Japan. Four army divisions to two Marine Corps Divisions plus a regiment. The United States Army had more impact in the history of mankind than any other military. The Army had to wait on Marine Corps to take Baghdad for the second war in Iraq. Not to mention the Army has more amphibious landings historically overall than the Marine Corps. The Army had amphibious landings all the way back to the continental Army. These are historical facts. Look everything up. By the way, the Germans never called the Marine Corps "Teufel Hunden", that was made up. It is even stated in the Marine Corps Times. You are drinking the Kool aid son.
@@JuanBenavides-q1q The Marine Corps has more battle action ribbons then all the branches put together. The Marine Corps have capabilities that the Army doesn’t . And if you wanna go down that road look at the battle history and see who has surrendered more to our adversaries and it ain’t the Marine Corps. We are more feared then the Army to our adversaries. We are the pit bulls in our military small and very dangerous plus we never had Emma and her 2 moms represent the Marine Corps
Actually that’s not true we Americans won the Cold War against Russia 1945-1991, we Americans won the gulf war 1991-1991, we Americans even won the wars in Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Kosovo we Americans have won many wars even going back 200 years there are many wars we Americans won including winning the war against Mexico 🇲🇽 and the UK 🇬🇧.
Up to 800$ a month for Healthcare?! That’s shocking! If the US creates a fund where everybody pays an surten amount then monthly costs will drop drastically. In a country like the Netherlands, Europe, people pay around 140 Euro’s a month and have a deductible or ‘at your own risk’ threshold of 350€ which you have spent first before you are totally covered. Thus you pay up to 350€ for say medication. Above 350 it will be payed by the insurance. Fun fact is that you can increase the ‘at own risk’ with 500€. Total will be 850. But if never sick or not using health care that’s okay. Monthly you pay even less then 140€.
NO NO....not $800/month for healthcare....$800/month is only for the health insurance, any actual healthcare costs MUCH more. If you dont have the insurance god help you if you need medical care of any kind, the hospital is basically allowed to just make up a number and put you in crippling debt. Hospitals have no legal obligation to publish the actual costs of any service in advance. Its not uncommon for a simple ER visit to cost over $10,000...WITH INSURANCE. Its an obscene scam. No civilized country should have a system like this. Best part is... dental care and eye care are a totally separate standalone systems not covered by the regular health insurance. Most Family plans run ~$2000/month for just insurance, before any service is rendered.

A small portion of the U.S. army was in Afghanistan, compared to what the entirety of the U.S. military actually consists of. Even so, that small portion toppled the Talibans within the first six months of contact and installed a new Afghani government that ran the country for the next 20 years. One party fled across the border to hide safely in Pakistan to lick its wounds, while the other party remained in Afghanistan to run the country. I think you've got the two mixed up. However, the internal corruption among the Afghani leaders made it impossible to sustain the democratic project, and after two decades of throwing endless money at a problem the Afghani people seemed mildly interested in fixing themselves, the U.S. reduced the operation and subsequently pulled its troops back home. Wars can be won by firepower alone, replacing the culture and an archaic mindset obviously takes something else. Anyway, using your juvenile logic, the U.S. military could alternatively have just used its entire might to simply flatten Afghanistan and gone home, but since they had something else in mind than to perform an outright genocide, here we are. Or maybe you would like to propose that the U.S. should have gone harder on the Afghanistan people, perhaps by carpet bombing every village instead of just busting down doors looking for insurgents? There's no resistance if no one's left to challenge you, right? And with that in mind, I think you should naturally come to realize that the $800 billions a year American military would have no problem winning a war against any group of "goat herders" if the preferred fix to the problem was outright genocide and indiscriminate killings. Thankfully, reality is a bit more complex than a high-school kid's take on geopolitics.
@@Robert-zr3xw I have already answered all your questions in my previous comment. You're the one making unsubstantiated claims and using false dichotomy. Your original comment was not about what someone could have done instead of what someone did, your chuckling point was that the U.S. military is weak and can not win wars. Now you're just trying to backtrack on your poor choice of words by admitting that it wasn't actually the military that was at fault, it was (as I've already stated) the host country that wasn't up for the task of restructuring its society to keep the militants down. The U.S. military supplied Afghanistan with enough brute force to break the Taliban, and did so successfully, but since the U.S. didn't go to Afghanistan to make it an American colony, they relied on the local population to pull their weight to keep things going. A lot of bad choices, and a lot of misguided partnerships, were made, but the fact remains that in pure military strength, the U.S. did what it set out to do, using only a portion of it's available power, and could have done a lot more if there were no limitations on the amount of force applied. Which invalidates your point about the U.S. military being, I guess, weak? If the Taliban had acted like a military instead of dressing up in civilian clothes, hiding among the population and doing cross-border raids and pure terrorism, maybe your point would have stacked up better. The U.S. army defeated the Taliban army, the goat herders you speak of, but the Taliban lived on as an asymmetrical insurgency. The Americans couldn't kill the idea, and they couldn't hunt them down inside Pakistan either. Except for that one guy, but he was a special project. If you don't believe, as your original comment implied, that the U.S. is the world's strongest military, then tell me a modern-day military that could beat it? To me it sounds like you're either saying that the Taliban rebels defeated the U.S., or you're saying that the Taliban did in fact not beat the U.S., but waited for the U.S. military to pack up their things and subsequently leave so that they could have a field day with the incompetent Afghanistan army left behind. Which one is it? I don't see the U.S. military being dismantled or defeated, they're still going strong all over the world, so even though the Afghanistan war was a colossal failure in the long run, the U.S. army still did what it set out to do and then left when it was no longer a viable option to stay. The U.S. military remain undefeated, as no one has so far managed to dismantle it. Much like the Taliban, by sort-of using the same simplified logic.

@TheOne1One1One1One How's that "nation building" working out for us? Disastrous. How's that war-losing operation working out for the millions of civilians our military has killed? Not so good.
Pakistan, Ocean Shield, Libya Three times, Uganda, Iraq intervention, Iraq war, Haiti, Gulf War, Panama, Tanker war, Grenada... That's since I've been alive. If you're thinking about Vietnam or Afghanistan, that wasn't the militaries fault, that was the country tired of wasting money on other peoples problems. No major battles were ever lost, in both wars. Vietnam they had a +20:1 kill ratio. Took over Afghanistan and Iraq, simultaneously. All from the other side of the planet... We only failed in rebuilding Afghanistan, not fighting them LOL "Inside the Most Powerful Army no country has been dumb enough to attack in 79 years" would be more accurate

Or maybe you would like to propose that the U.S. should have gone harder on the Afghanistan people, perhaps by carpet bombing every village instead of just busting down doors looking for insurgents? There's no resistance if no one's left to challenge you, right? And with that in mind, I think you should naturally come to realize that the $800 billions a year American military would have no problem winning a war against any group of "goat herders" if the preferred fix to the problem was outright genocide and indiscriminate killings.
Thankfully, reality is a bit more complex than a high-school kid's take on geopolitics.
@@Robert-zr3xw I have already answered all your questions in my previous comment. You're the one making unsubstantiated claims and using false dichotomy.
Your original comment was not about what someone could have done instead of what someone did, your chuckling point was that the U.S. military is weak and can not win wars. Now you're just trying to backtrack on your poor choice of words by admitting that it wasn't actually the military that was at fault, it was (as I've already stated) the host country that wasn't up for the task of restructuring its society to keep the militants down. The U.S. military supplied Afghanistan with enough brute force to break the Taliban, and did so successfully, but since the U.S. didn't go to Afghanistan to make it an American colony, they relied on the local population to pull their weight to keep things going.
A lot of bad choices, and a lot of misguided partnerships, were made, but the fact remains that in pure military strength, the U.S. did what it set out to do, using only a portion of it's available power, and could have done a lot more if there were no limitations on the amount of force applied. Which invalidates your point about the U.S. military being, I guess, weak? If the Taliban had acted like a military instead of dressing up in civilian clothes, hiding among the population and doing cross-border raids and pure terrorism, maybe your point would have stacked up better. The U.S. army defeated the Taliban army, the goat herders you speak of, but the Taliban lived on as an asymmetrical insurgency. The Americans couldn't kill the idea, and they couldn't hunt them down inside Pakistan either. Except for that one guy, but he was a special project.
If you don't believe, as your original comment implied, that the U.S. is the world's strongest military, then tell me a modern-day military that could beat it? To me it sounds like you're either saying that the Taliban rebels defeated the U.S., or you're saying that the Taliban did in fact not beat the U.S., but waited for the U.S. military to pack up their things and subsequently leave so that they could have a field day with the incompetent Afghanistan army left behind. Which one is it? I don't see the U.S. military being dismantled or defeated, they're still going strong all over the world, so even though the Afghanistan war was a colossal failure in the long run, the U.S. army still did what it set out to do and then left when it was no longer a viable option to stay.
The U.S. military remain undefeated, as no one has so far managed to dismantle it. Much like the Taliban, by sort-of using the same simplified logic.
THEY LOST ALL THEIR WARS!!! (Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq…)
Militarily the US won every single major decisive battle they were engaged in and then Chose to withdrawal, Your smoothbore brain simply cannot separate how powerful the Military is from how the poor political leadership led to these problems, No military will make a population think or vote differently with force.
Korea is not lost and somalia is not worth it.
Somalia? What fkn war happened in Somalia, smooth brain?
@@ec6052 Not a war, the Battle of Mogadishu in October 1993, where 18 American soldiers were killed, led to a reassessment of U.S. military engagement in Somalia and a withdrawal of American forces by early 1994.

Which war US army won?
Where were they when the helena hit?
Blue Angels is the NAVY btw!!!🤦♂
I have the utmost respect for everyone who has , is or will fight for us in America. But lets face every country is going to say they have the best because who wants to join anything less.
We have the 7th best military in the world, but the pancakes are good so sign on the dotted line.
Lots of people join for the cash, some join to see the world but if your job may require you to die you need to join for the love of your nation and the security of its citizens.
Security?
Is that what we call money for banks and Black Rock now?
And yet, impotent to stop a genocide. Actually facilitating a genocide. Another one I may say.

The United states military is the largest volunteer army on the face of the planet, with the more funding, better equipment, higher morale than any other, on top of that Militarily the US won every single major decisive battle they were engaged in, Your smoothbore brain simply cannot separate how powerful the Military is from how the poor political leadership led to these problems, No military will make a population think or vote differently with force., there are men that study War and combat and devote there lives to it much more than any of you "they lost every war they got into" idiots have ever devoted to anything, and that is part of the reason it is and will stay the most powerful Military on the planet.
Let's fix that title: "Inside the Most Powerful Army That Hasn't Won a War in 79 Years."
The U.S. army could have easily won’t any of the recent wars. But trying to avoid civilian casualties and doing nation building makes it difficult
@TheOne1One1One1One How's that "nation building" working out for us? Disastrous. How's that war-losing operation working out for the millions of civilians our military has killed? Not so good.
Pakistan, Ocean Shield, Libya Three times, Uganda, Iraq intervention, Iraq war, Haiti, Gulf War, Panama, Tanker war, Grenada... That's since I've been alive. If you're thinking about Vietnam or Afghanistan, that wasn't the militaries fault, that was the country tired of wasting money on other peoples problems. No major battles were ever lost, in both wars. Vietnam they had a +20:1 kill ratio. Took over Afghanistan and Iraq, simultaneously. All from the other side of the planet... We only failed in rebuilding Afghanistan, not fighting them LOL
"Inside the Most Powerful Army no country has been dumb enough to attack in 79 years" would be more accurate
@@TheOne1One1One1One Not being allowed to shoot until we were shot at, was different than a lot of wars.. lol Nation building and war are certainly two different things, that this dude doesn't understand. They pulled out of wars that didn't concern the country, but no country has been dumb enough to attack them in 79 years. And that's the whole point and a win
@@TheOne1One1One1One The USA fought goat herders in Afghanistan for 20 years and then fled. I don't blame the "soldiers." I do blame the officers and the politicians.

Russian army is the most powerful and intelligent in the world. US should stop deceiving themselves

Does the truth hurt that much
Most of their country probably buying American weapons…they keep bringing Afghan and Vietnamese wars …two completely separate wars …Vit war is more about communism and western capitalism ideology,the Afghan war is Islamists insurgents…The US whited them out …but, hard to win ideology wars …the US won Cold War against powerful Soviet with economic and cultural achievements,not weapons or wars …I think these third world nations lack the logic here ..
