You mean apart from both Britain and the US?
Haven't been in a real war since 1945/vietnam. If you think driving in a plane and dropping bombs is same as being down there shooting people in the face thats pretty weird.
I’m sure the soldiers who have died would call them real wars
Oh yeah those heavy loses so many US,  UK troops died.
Yeah they did. Besides, losses don’t determine if something is a war.
UK lost 7,415 soldiers since ww2.

Not really. I meant that the number of losses don’t determine wars, not that losses don’t matter at all. It was fairly obvious that’s what I was saying.

Alright next time just don't debate yourself, ok?

Have they not gotten to that part in history class yet Pero?

You literally missed the biggest tank battle the U.S. has ever fought, in the same war that also hadthe largest air assault operation in the world's history. Yes I am talking about Desert Sabre.
There was also the conventional part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

And between '45 and Vietnam there have been a couple invasions amongst the the Korean War.
Please you're entitled to your opinion but you are kind of making a fool out of yourself now.



What war was that Norwegian conquest of Jan Mayen? And Dutch reconquista of Ceylon?

Oh please even if you're attempting to troll this is getting a bit ridiculous. Norway and the Netherlands both fought in Iraqi Freedom and Afghanistan. Just because its intrastate warfare doesn't mean there weren't any big engagements. Actually a lot of engagement fought by coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan during the insurgencies were more intense than During the Second Gulf War.

I meant since 1945 for UK and Vietnam for USA. Oh yeah the mighty golfu war where 300 coalition soldiers died (not including kuwait)  compared to 50k Iraqi on the other side.

I am not really saying those werent real wars but they werent wars that could give reliable information on effects of women in military.

OPCW found only chlorine in Douma, yet I haven't seen a single person cough in the videos and they were claiming gas had rotten smell, while we know chlorine has bleach-like smell. So most logical assumption is rebels gased a few people with chlorine (easy to make) and rest with carbon monoxide in basements. But those kids in videos are 100% healthy.

It's what happens when you only watch Russian media.

You speak as if western media is any better. I mean really, did you see the coverage of what's happening in Jerusalem?

Palestinian kids that were used as human shields by the same innocent and sweet Palestinian "protesters", yes.

Looks like you're giving McPero some real competition when it comes to moronic, uninformed one-liners

Weren’t they just moving up to a fence? Hardly justification to shoot them.
