I meant no disrespect for anyone who served. I lost family in WWII but that was before I was born.

I don't think reading about history is unpatriotic. I try to learn something new each day.

I don't believe I have ever tore down the country. I agree it is the best country in the world. Isn't that the reason so many are moving in, or trying to and no one is moving out?

I read that only 5% of the current population lived in America during the Civil War. This is a melting pot.

Be careful when reading about history - "His-story" - because that's exactly WHAT history is...someones story.

Many come here because it's better than where they're from. Not the best any more...down around #17 as of late. Many ARE leaving, renouncing their citizenship. The rich are leaving, the poot are coming.

Did you know that more than 25%, 1/4 of the US population is foreign born or the anchor baby born here of immigrant parents? Did you know that as of 6 years ago, "minority" children out number white children? Starting in about 15 years we will be outvoted?

Are you aware your country is becoming 3rd world as it fills with 3rd worlders? The test was here in the US with the mexicans, now it's Europe with the refugees.

It's lost without a shot fired...

And you'll passively "fiddle" while your country burns...

You got yours...screw everyone else? Or just too much of a pussy to say anything? What else is there? You like Mexico better than the US?

Because of them we have the most powerful country, making us relatively free from attack from outside. Whether you LIKE war or not does not mean beans to me. I don't care what you think of war or history. These people served our country honorably and you have NO right to demean that. So, take your tired agenda elsewhere. It's real easy to Monday morning quarterback from your easy chair. I have traveled to and lived in many different countries, longer than I have lived in the U.S.of A. and I have yet to find a better country than ours. Don't try to make us one of the others. We have the best and if that is not good enough for losers that insist on disparaging it, then they can kiss my ****!

Thank you many times over !

The test was here in the US with the mexicans, now it's Europe with the refugees.

The nation’s foreign-born population increased sharply between 1970 and 2000, but its rate of growth has since slowed, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. Even so, the share of the U.S. population that is foreign born—13.1% in 2013—is approaching a historic high.

14 percent were Black, non-Hispanic;
5 percent were Asian, non-Hispanic; and
5 percent were non-Hispanic "All other races."

Name a 3rd world country that seems like it's almost the USA?

...and 8 of the top 10 countries listed are "socialist" countries.

...and 9 of the top 10 have strict laws about private handgun ownership. The USA has the highest murder rate by handgun of any of those top ten countries AND the highest mass murder rate by guns of any of those top 10 countries.

...and this makes us civilized?

...and the tens of thousands of Americans who were killed in WWI and II died so America would be a leader in the top 10 economic countries in the world in handgun deaths and in mass killings by handguns?

GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as the U.S. dollar has in the United States.


We are at the top.
$16.8 trillion GDP 318.9 million POPULATION $54,597 GDP PER CAPITA, PPP

I don't see the connection between "handgun deaths and in mass killings by handguns" and WWII. You will have to spell that out.
