bahahaha, america has never won a modern day war besides world war 2, and thats only because they were forced into it and the allies were winning at that stage anyway.

Name, say, at least two wars that America obviously 'lost'. If I remeber correctly, America entered World War I as well, and we (the allies) came up victorious. Another war? Desert Storm? Hello?
I bet your twelve years old and haven't listened durning history class.
Well.. if they did get into a fight, it'd be a close tie between EVE and korean MMO's.
I mean... EVE has, ships and stuff, but they'd probaly spend most of their time trying to get to the war and it'd be over by the time they got there.
The koreans would probaly train 24/7... and then they'd end up dropping dead in middle of battle from exaustion.
ok, those wouldn't win.
Blizard would simply have to copy other tactics, which means they'd take one of the top 2, not a good idea. They however, would "improve" on these tatics (note the " " )
Sony would have to copy blizard after seeing their great "sucess". They too would fall.
Ok.. So uhm, no one would win. .
ps: yay for sterotypes! pps: all in good fun =P. lol

okay, I'll play...
World War I -- AEF troops lead the succesful counter attacks after the germans had pushed with in I believe 40miles of Paris. US Marines were first termed "Devil Dogs" by the germans. Theather commanders wanted the american troops seperate from the other allied troops to prevent the "not leaving the trenches" attitude that had prevailed in the french and british.
World War II -- when America officially entered the war there weren't many places the allies weren't losing ground. Russia was getting nailed harder and harder, some times tank crew were getting "welded" into thier tanks and firing the first combat round as the tank cleared the factory. British, Aussie, and Chinese forces in the pacific were on the run. not saying that we were winning all of our initial battles either. Churchhill was quoted as saying that he knew the allies were going to win when he called President Roosevelt up to inform him that a shipment of aircraft engines was sunk, the Presidents response... "we'll have a replacement shipment out with in a week."
Korea and Vietnam -- these were politically restricted wars and frankly for non military reasons we lost/negotiated.
Desert Storm -- Uh as someone else had pointed out we were leading the damn thing.
OIF/Afgahn -- Both of these are doing fairly well, again politcs are making life a living hell for the average solider along with reporters. And I comment on that from someone who was there... And for those of you who don't know from my friends who are back over there and my own experience. most of the resistence is non-Iraqii/Afgahan in origin and most are from "Allied" nations that are politically protected.
Missed some of the smaller conflicts and operations and generally the less political intervention in the fight the better the average solider does. And to my knowledge pretty much any solider will agree with you on that. So get your damn facts right before you spout off statements.
and no wonder us won in europe , the us entered in 1941 while the was in europe was already going on from 1939. the germens were tired and the us just had the advantage here !

Congratulations, sir, on making an absolutely idiotic statement. Now go read your history books and get it right.

Read some history dufus. The allies were losing WWII almost to the end. The industrial capacity of the US ensured we would win. Also, if it were not for the US then Korea would be a fully communist country. The UN was humilliated and the US had to come and push the North back to Pyongyang. Vietnam was lost when the government of the South fell and we had been forced to leave. We were not defeated militarily, but politically, at home. The Gulf War we won, and the Iraq war we won, except having won it we are stuck in the middle of a different Civil War.

We (the US) would just ghost run back to our corpses, get a gank squad together and take over the world anyway.
Remember when we cast that AOE spell on Bagdad don't ya?

That's the address for Blizzard Entertainment, supposedly.
I think the photo is doctored. I see a Freeway in the picture without gridlock. That can't be Los Angeles.

OMG!
Viva la revolucion!
I totally miss the point in how this is a topic to be "discussed" here.
PS: Just a reminder, America is a continent and therefore it's not = U.S.A. alone.
