America and Overkill?

[mrhappyface]

I've always wondered why our military is probably one of the least subtle when engaging targets. Why do you think?

Because we can. And the bigger the boom, the less risk REAL people have to take.

And its awesome.

We're just a country that likes to kick everyone's asses, I guess... Our's in the only national anthem that mentions rockets and bombs in it. And everytime there's something we don't like, we declare war on it. (War against cancer, war against crime, war against poverty, so on.)

Wow, what is it with us and fighting, anyway?

 

[Pielikey]

Because Shock & Awe is an efficient way to make people stop fighting. It's hard to fight when you have brown undergarments.

Not to say stealth doesn't work, of course.


EDIT: Let's not forget we celebrate our independence every july 4th by blowing shit up in the sky.

Or perhaps it seems that way because the stealth methods are so good you've never heard about them.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Because we're the jock country of the world and when someone annoys us we'll bully them with giant bombs until they see it our way.

Nuclear Cannons and Nuclear Recoiless Rifles. America... Fuck. Yah.

Because blowing the hell out of something is typically the easiest way to neutralize it.

There's no kill like overkill, thank you very much.

It's really not complicated. Guys like to blow stuff up. That is a simple fact of our nature, and a very prevalent one at that. The guys in charge of the army and military are just true to themselves.

Crazy weapons and stuff need to be invented for their own sake. They're just too damn awesome not to.

 

[Doctor What]

Because, we're UHMUREEKA. That's why. Or, maybe it's because the "best" way to end a war is to make sure that there is nothing left to fight.

or...it could just be MUDDA FUX'N EXPLOSIONS!

"Because I might need it later" is not an issue with the military then.
