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?

Trick question, America never had freedom.
n/a EnoughNoLibsSpam 2017-06-14
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
n/a Awesomo3082 2017-06-14
It can't, but it has to.

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

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
n/a megalodon90 2017-06-14
Ah yes, the Battle of Kent State, when our brave National Guardsmen kept our American Freedom safe from those evil anti-war protesters.
n/a ShieldedGred 2017-06-14
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
n/a Ferfrendongles 2017-06-14
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?
n/a irwin_normal 2017-06-14
Shooting into a crowd of unarmed students IS entirely the fault of the guardsmen
n/a Starlifter2 2017-06-14
The "she was asking for it" argument falls flat.
n/a ShieldedGred 2017-06-14
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
n/a CloudyMN1979 2017-06-14
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?
n/a ShieldedGred 2017-06-14
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.
n/a SmedleysButler 2017-06-14
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.
n/a Awesomo3082 2017-06-14
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.
n/a SmedleysButler 2017-06-14
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.
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-06-14
When Mexico attacked us. Thank god our brave soldiers stopped the invasion. Actually that was a false flag so we can invade Mexico.
n/a OnAllDAY 2017-06-14
Woodrow Wilson wanted to invade Mexico for its oil.
n/a Awesomo3082 2017-06-14
War of 1812. Maybe...
n/a KlehmM 2017-06-14
You mean the war over cannabis?
n/a Awesomo3082 2017-06-14
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?
n/a falconerhk 2017-06-14
After the A bombs were dropped? Never. Once you have the ultimate deterrent, is any aggressive action on foreign soil in any way legitimate?
n/a KnightBeforeTomorrow 2017-06-14
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.
n/a Slingyman 2017-06-14
Serious: Never.

WWII but after fdr died so did this country.
n/a TheWiredWorld 2017-06-14
The problem with that question is that there's still tons of wiggle room for normies to insert their retarded arguments.

The Civil War.
n/a Thegingerbread_man 2017-06-14
Civil war? Maybe Spanish American war, but I don't know for sure
n/a _josepi_ 2017-06-14
I'd wager the civil war. Everything else since, imperialism.
n/a akgoddd 2017-06-14
Never.
