Serious: When was the last time the U.S. military was used to protect American freedom?

Many have died for the idea that they do protect it but when/where was that?

I'll get back to you on that

Trick question, America never had freedom.

the federal reserve will raise interest rates today.

usury is debt slavery, and our money supply is usury based, and everyone who is forced to use it is a debt slave

I'm curious how Trump will handle the debt ceiling, or if he even has any say in the matter. it can't continue forever

It can't, but it has to.

we had best figure out what to do when their scheme finally collapses

1775 hoy hoy

Yeah...revolutionary war. Maybe. And that was technically before the current military was established. So really never.

Well don't be picky, it is used constantly to provide our wealthiest freedom to invest safely in foreign nations and use the ships and air for transporting the goods and themselves around the globe.

National guard

Ah yes, the Battle of Kent State, when our brave National Guardsmen kept our American Freedom safe from those evil anti-war protesters.

That does sound bad, looking it up though the protesters were vandalizing and destroying property the days before, sending threats to the state and local authorities and vastly outnumbered the national guard and sounds like they were confrontational and hostile towards them. Not agreeing with what they did but not all the fault is with them

Yeah if a store owner murders a kid who he catches graffiti.. ing.. his alley wall, all of the fault is with the owner.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Shooting into a crowd of unarmed students IS entirely the fault of the guardsmen

The "she was asking for it" argument falls flat.

Really like that I'm getting downvoted for suggesting the protesters weren't all in the right and the truth doesn't depict that they were non violent protesters that exercised their right to protest within reasonable bounds

You're in an arguably anti-establishment sub, trying to defend the one time the establishment actually, without question, murdered innocent civilians with military force and without meaningful consequence. ...And you're bummed because of downvotes?

Defending? I never said what they did was justified, far from it, but to say that the protestors were all in the right is not the truth.

Yeah on that note it is pretty stupid to be disappointed by downvotes its an echo chamber after all, can't be too surprised at it.

That one gave me a good laugh thanks dude. I think I'll probably always refer to it that way now.

The US, since WW2 has had a really bad habit of getting tangled up in other countries affairs. Some of them were proxy wars with Russia during the cold war (Korean War/Vietnam), others were completely at the behest of a nation (6 Day War, Desert Storm).

The last time the US faced a potential real threat was in WW2, and not really from Japan, but from Germany itself. This primarily happened due to the Pres being tricky, he wanted to support the English without Germany openly declaring war on the US. However, there are many accounts of German uboats patrolling just off the eastern seaboard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Lusitania

Most of that was kept from the American people who were against being involved in the war. Had they known how close the threat really was to their border, they may have risen a bit faster to join the war - at the very least to defend the seaboard.

The Germans/Hitler refused to follow through with the conquest of England. What makes you think he would've done anything about another country half a world away? From the bombing of London onward, Germany made it clear that it was more interested in self-sabotage than any real offensive. Russia in the dead of winter? Hell yeah! Finish off London while it's crippled? Nope.

And this isn't even mentioning that Lusitania was almost certainly a false flag, or at the very least, a baiting mission, looking for an excuse to go to war.

Except Hitler was put in power by mostly US financiers to attack the Russians and destroy the threat of communism. It was strictly for financial benefit so not that war either.

When Mexico attacked us. Thank god our brave soldiers stopped the invasion. Actually that was a false flag so we can invade Mexico.

Woodrow Wilson wanted to invade Mexico for its oil.

War of 1812. Maybe...

Interesting. There's another plausible theory, that it was related to America not wanting to renew its central bank charter, so England was used as the muscle to beat us into submission. That's why I said "maybe", since it's not for certain.

Every single day this is a pretty nice piece of property we have here and I would guess without a Military at the ready to Nuke, Invade, or otherwise obliterate any State or group looking to alter world events in the slightest without our blessing, there would be troop carriers filled with Chinese, or Russians Tropps in the Pacific right now just waiting to round us up ship us off and systematically dispose of us. Just like they have done to their own people for decades now. They want all of the great stuff we have. Namely one of the world's largest oil reserves, the world's largest supply of fresh water, and the most abundant, and fertile farmland in the entire world.

are you saying that the Native Americans were justified in resisting the European invasion?

After the A bombs were dropped? Never. Once you have the ultimate deterrent, is any aggressive action on foreign soil in any way legitimate?

But the U.S. had blockaded Japans food and supply shipping so they were forced to react. We just watched and waited so we would have an excuse to get into WWII.

Serious: Never.

WWII but after fdr died so did this country.

The problem with that question is that there's still tons of wiggle room for normies to insert their retarded arguments.

Follow the money.

The Civil War.

Civil war? Maybe Spanish American war, but I don't know for sure

I'd wager the civil war. Everything else since, imperialism.

Never.
