So wheres my coke

I wonder what would happen if i made a "Everything in america is better" thread. It would probably be derailed quickly enough by the liberal trolls from P&WA

Anttech

You wouldnt need any trolls to derail a thread like that, just someone with an IQ higher than 50.. so that excludes you I guess

Evo

Ok, stop it you two.

Actually we had a thread like that. http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=82972

Sorry mum

Have the United states ever won a war on their own?

Smurf

Depends. Do Native Americans count as part of the United States?

edit: Actually, the Spanish-American war over Florida and such was fought alone, as far as I can recall.

Pengwuino

Has England in the last ... 300 years?

Even in the Pacific, the aussies were stragling in with us so technically we didn't even win that on our own.... technically.

Don't forget about the Mexican war of 1847 in which we got over 1/3 of Mexico as booty. And we already had Florida before the Spanish-American War--We got the Phillipines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico in that war. And more recently, there was that little police action down in Panama.

Remember the falklands? It took our army longer to get to the falklands than it did for us to recapture it.

Smurf

thats pretty funny

And on the topic of the Falklands, I recall that it was the FRENCH-made exocet missles that did severe damage to a couple of British battleships. These incendiary devices were so hot they caused the aluminum, 'scuse me, "aluminium" to start burning. Those French!

Here's a list of some of the wars that the US did all by themselves.

And it's sad that we're planning on giving back most of it by the year 2010

Smurf

What? Huh?

WarrenPlatts

You're from California--so you know we've already given it back!

!Viva Poncho Villa!

Touche is spelled... well, like I just spelled it. Except with an accent. English keyboard won't let me add it.

Pengwuino

Yah but its not "official" yet.
