Let's hope that WE don't get dragged into it AGAIN. Our intell resources are over worked now. There is just not enough toys or manpower to divert to a conflict that is 1. none of our business, and 2, SHOULD have been settled a hundred years ago.

I was reading a couple of months ago about this. OB (our fearless leader) said we would not get involved this time. Last time we supplied Great Briton with Air Tankers and a couple of subs. Maybe he will send them a drone or two.
Far more than air tankers and a couple of subs. We diverted almost all of our intell resources, including several thousand man hours to participate in an war that was absolutely none of our business. The last time ALL of my targets, which DID have a capability to destroy US, went un-monitored for the duration of that conflict. It took almost 6 months to get back up to speed when we got the use of our toys back. We also supplied England with munitions.
I cannot say about many of the other things that are going on. This one is very clear cut. It is in no way the responsibility of the United States to help England retain what remains of an Empire from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is also unwise to weaken our own defense efforts to do so. We have ZERO economic or military interest in the Falklands and no bone to pick, at least for now, with Argentina. If England wishes to retain those islands which they did take from Argentina, that is totally THEIR business.
I gotta SUBWAY gift card for Christmas I would be willing to donate to the cause.
I doubt very much the US was ever dragged into it....US doesn't go anywhere it doesn't want to go ...Rwanda is proof of that.....
Supplied munitions? Unlikely but sold is more likely....

You have NO clue what you are talking about. The documents have been declassified, look them up, read them, then get back to me. I was there.
The action put the US in great danger. We fought getting dragged into the last mess tooth and nail.
As I said, more and more of what I took part in is being declassified, the TRUTH will finally come out, even the papers I wrote will see the light of day as well. The truth shall set you free.
Sounds more like the US propaganda machine still at work.... This country lies just like every other country...declassified to me just means documents have been cleansed.
Why do you hate it here so much? From the documents I have read on other declassified projects I found things to be exactly as I saw it when it was live. You don't want to learn, just complain.
