General Discussion

It's the military. The military is not an anti-fascist organization. It's not an anti-communist organization. It's not an anti-Islamic organization. Almost 1/2 of troops deployed, fought Japanese in WWII, which was an aggressor against the United States, I know they had a dictatorship, but I don't think they were fascist. The Japanese are the reason the US entered WWII.


The major military leaders in the Vietnam War fought in all three wars.
