Boots on the ground

[Aramus]

How many countries are we at war with right now?
What I mean, is how many countries do we have troops on the ground, fighting at the moment?

Here is my guess -
Iraq
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Libya
Tunisia
Lebanon
Yemen
Syria
Sudan
Somalia
Guatemala

I know I am missing some...

I need this for an argument with someone who thinks Obama is a peaceful president...

[American Patriot]

So far, I think you're correct. If we don't actually have boots there, they are at the border (Syria is one that comes to mind). We also have troops in places that aren't actually "at war" with us... like Japan and we're getting ready to "stand up to China" (NOT) and Russia (NOT) though we're putting on an act.

I'd say within about 3 months I will be out of my job at MDA... along with thousands and thousands of other contractors. The MDA is on the chopping block big time and some of the fuckers I work with voted for the assclown in office.... which means the motherfuckers voted themselves out of a job.

WORSE, some of them WON'T lose their jobs because they are GOVERNMENT WORKERS and are beholden to Obama for their jobs.

Obama isn't a "peaceful" president. He's a Socialist... a Progressive if you ask me, and they are only "peaceful" on the surface. ANYONE that teaches Alinsky rules for radicals to college students and then himself follows those rules is NOT A PEACEFUL person.

And those who say "Violence never solved anything" are chickenshit pussies who only want you to be compliant.

Hey Aramus, long time.

It only takes a little time to locate, but this peaceful president had increased troop numbers deployed when he took office in 2008. His promise broken had been to remove troops like day one.
