The sad truth about the Afghan Army

[Rollo Tamasi]

The United States has not "officially died as a superpower". We still are the #1 military power in the entire world. BTW, why do you include Germany as one of the world's superpowers? It's also wrong to state that they, a NATO country, have zero qualms in using their military to enforce their will on other nations. Hitler was defeated 76 years ago, and democratic Germany is very peaceful.

Also, Ronald Reagan saying America was ordained by God to be the world's police is irrelevant. He was President more than 40 years ago. A lot has changed since then.

You too sound like an American first and a Christian second, right?
Guess what?
God is first and his people are with him.
Everyone else is second.....

A person doesn't have to wonder what the rest of the world is thinking. They know that America has officially died as a superpower, and now it's just a matter of making themselves more powerful to be the one who's going to fill the void. China, Russia, and Germany are basically at the forefront of that race, and history says these 3 countries have zero qualms in using their military to enforce their will on other nations, and they aren't nearly as scrupulous as America is when it comes to how their soldiers should conduct themselves in foreign places.

President Reagan once stated in a commencement speech at Notre Dame that he believed America was ordained by God to be the world's police(he didn't know just how right he was about that), and now even the "Christian" conservatives in America are slapping God in the face by saying we shouldn't have to waste any time, effort, or resources trying to police everybody else. America has fallen so far in just 20 years. It's gotten so bad that even the religious conservatives in America fail to recognize the message our cowardice sends to the rest of the world.

Russia and China will always be Russia and China till God destroys them. I don't believe either will become the leading super power of the world. I believe the next super power of the world will be the united nations under the anti-christ.

If Reagan did say that, then I believe he was wrong. I see America as a nation of refuge in the world. And that doesn't mean open borders. That is a fools errand. A nation of refuge can only happen if you're a super power so you can protect your nation from all others who would take it.

Once America started being 'scrupulous' in war, she started losing. Once she tried to separate the people from the government and soldiers, she started losing. In other words when she started saying, "we are not against the people of that nation, we are just against that evil government", she started losing. It sounds good. Just doesn't work.

America shouldn't try and be the world's policeman. That is a foolish endeavor. We are living proof.
