Can there ever again be a war the US gets involved with the blessing of the vast majority of Americans?

People want overnight results. They are gung-ho for a few months but then it gets too difficult, too costly (like any war is cheap) or they are afraid they might have to really put up or shut the h*ll up and make a personal sacrifice like so many other brave Americans have done.

Immediately following the 9/11 acts of war, you could have caught a cold from the flags being waved by both sides, now, the insults, petty childish hate and epithets hurling is harming everyone, mostly our military people doing this dirty job.

Yes....... the one where someone actually attacks our country with nukes, i.e. Iran.

I just hope they toss the first one on Hollywood so I don't have to listen to them whine anymore.

Yes, the next time Muslims denoate a bomb in the US or crash planes.

They will be able to do it, because liberals have castrated common sense security, by searching old ladies and little girls in airports in order not to offend Muslims.

no. any war supported by intelligent Americans will be resisted by the left. any war the left supports will be a waste of our time and resources

Like Afghanistan? Do you hear anyone screaming "Get us out of Afghanistan"?

The Korean war continues to this day as well, so I guess that Americans support that one too.

Most Americans supported Iraq in 1990, but many opposed the way that Dubya ended the war via invasion. And, quite frankly, most have jumped on that bandwagon in an effort to gain political power, or because they just think that it's the cool thing to do.

YES!! The war on morons! I'll shoot the first thousand myself!

Yes, if we or one of our allies is actually attacked, the vast majority of Americans will support such a war. A majority of Americans supported taking action in Afghanistan.

The key words to your question are "ever again".
There has never been a war where the US was involved that involved the blessing of the vast majority of Americans.
Why do you think it took so long to get involved with WWII? Why are people still saying Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor, and did nothing to stop it.
My grandma says there were many anti-war people during WWII, they just didn't have the means (technology) to make their objections known.

Imagine this hypothetical:

A suitcase nuke goes off in DC, sets the entire country on panic. Martial law is imposed, the Constitution's last tattered remains are laid to rest. The nuke is blamed on Iran, and "evidence" is hawked on all the airwaves to "prove Iranian complicity in this horrific attack". You can take it from there..

Yes, when the desired outcome is clearly articulated and the enemy is easily recognized.

Americans like wars like WWII or even Korea where the agressor is clearly identified and the desired outcome is evident. Even Korea suffered a little from a lack of decisiveness when MacArthur suggested nuking Korea.


Huey Freeman
If the war is acknowledged as necessary, of course it would. Few to no one opposed either World War like they are this. The only other war with opposition like this, that I can think of is Vietnam. But something tells me for bringing this up, I'm gonna get a couple of people attacking me.


Captain Moe
Not if California keeps breeding.


Roadrunner58-79
YES, God forbidding, the USA is ever attacked again like
9/11/01 and much worse than that attack. Maybe, just maybe, the people will wake up to the fact that their are
SOBs that want to destroy this country and kill as many Americans that they can.

yes. the afghan war is an example. iraq is different because it was based on lies.

The vast majority blessed the invasion of Afghanistan and rightly so. I would still bless it if it contained any element at all about finding and capturing OBL, but sadly it no longer does.


Jola
with so many idiots, YES!! you can bet on that one.


The Twist
the USA was behind the Afghanistan invasion, then they were lied to.

So, it's possible, just not with the current administration.
