[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3597146, member: 5412"] Then you take out that ten. The US bombed Germany into oblivion. Germany is or was one of our greatest allies after that war. The problem with your theory is that winning hearts and minds never works. The politicians have tried that in every conflict after WWII. The people in those third world countries have been beat down for so long that the only thing they recognize is power. They will give allegiance to anyone that can harm or kill them to save their lives. American troops build schools and infrastructure. When they leave the people that attended those schools are killed typically in a non pleasant manner so to send a message to the rest of the population. Life is rough in those countries. [/QUOTE]
